Revision History

A Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC—now declared a public health emergency of international concern—has been met with repeated attacks on health facilities, deep community mistrust, and a collapse in U.S. foreign aid that has left frontline workers operating in what physicians describe as "an environment marked by fear." With over 900 suspected cases, cross-border spread to Uganda, and no approved vaccine for this strain, the response faces obstacles that echo and in some ways surpass those of the 2018–2020 Kivu epidemic.
