A Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Ituri Province has become the third-largest Ebola epidemic on record, with nearly 750 suspected cases and 177 deaths as of May 22, 2026. The crisis is compounded by the absence of any licensed vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo strain, ongoing armed conflict restricting humanitarian access, and sharp reductions in U.S. foreign aid that health experts say delayed detection by weeks.
