## Resource

Ebola’s grip tightens in the DRC, with over 1,500 confirmed cases and more than 500 deaths — fueled by a rare Bundibugyo strain with no approved treatments or vaccines. The outbreak’s heaviest toll hits Ituri province, with spillover cases in Uganda, underscoring how pandemics strike without warning. Yet, hope flickers: new treatment trials are underway in the DRC, and a French patient who contracted the virus abroad has recovered — a reminder that even in the darkest moments, science and resilience can turn the tide.
