A rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola — for which no vaccine or specific therapeutic exists — has killed at least 131 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri Province, prompting the WHO to declare a public health emergency of international concern on May 17, 2026. The outbreak, now the fourth-largest in DRC history, has spread to Uganda and been compounded by armed conflict, displacement of over 5 million people, and an 80% collapse in US humanitarian aid following the dismantling of USAID.
