## Resource

Ebola’s grip tightens in Africa as the DRC faces its second-largest outbreak on record—with over 900 suspected cases and 220 confirmed deaths, likely underreported. Uganda reports 7 cases, and 11 nations face elevated risk. The U.S. is deploying $23 million to bolster detection and response across the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan, declaring full-scale mobilization. Travelers from affected zones must re-enter the U.S. via three major airports or face denial of entry. The first American infected, Dr. Peter Stafford, was evacuated to Germany after working in Congo since 2023. Experts warn multiple infection cycles may have already occurred, accelerating case growth. Containment and resource deployment remain critical as the situation evolves.
