## Resource

Ebola cases in the DRC have surged to 260 confirmed, with the rare Bundibugyo strain spreading across provinces and into Uganda, sparking global alarm. Health workers are sounding the alarm as testing lags and infections among medical staff raise fears of overwhelmed facilities. An experimental antibody treatment, backed by the CDC and WHO, could be a breakthrough — with trials underway and early care showing promise. WHO urges early medical intervention and cautions against travel bans, which could hinder response efforts and discourage reporting.
