Anonymous13 days ago

A fast-moving Ebola outbreak caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus has produced over 1,200 suspected and confirmed cases across the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda since May 2026, with no approved vaccine or targeted treatment available. The outbreak — now the third-largest Ebola epidemic on record — is compounded by armed conflict in eastern DRC, U.S. aid cuts that weakened preparedness, and a funding gap that has seen international pledges shrink from $498 million to $219 million actually available.
