Summary
Ebola is surging in the DRC with 260 confirmed cases of the deadly Bundibugyo strain, spreading across multiple provinces—and now nine cases in Uganda, including one death. Health teams are racing to test a promising experimental antibody treatment in a critical mid-stage trial, while alarm bells ring as hundreds of samples await testing and the outbreak’s true scope remains hidden. The virus is moving faster than ever recorded at this stage, and five healthcare workers in Bunia have tested positive, exposing dangerous gaps in infection control. Yet there’s still hope: early medical care saves lives, and experts warn that travel bans may hinder—not help—the global response.
