The World Health Organization has raised the national risk level of the Democratic Republic of Congo's latest Ebola outbreak to "very high," as nearly 750 suspected cases and 177 deaths mount from a Bundibugyo strain for which no approved vaccine or treatment exists. The crisis is compounded by armed conflict in Ituri Province, deep cuts to international health funding, cross-border spread to Uganda, and the destruction of a treatment center by angry residents — raising the specter of a repeat of the 2018–2020 Kivu epidemic that killed over 2,200 people.
