DR Congo: Authorities struggle to contain fast-moving Ebola outbreak
Uganda has confirmed two new Ebola cases among healthcare workers in Kampala, linked to the outbreak in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo. In eastern Congo, over 900 suspected cases have been identified, with authorities and volunteers struggling to contain the spread due to limited resources, ongoing violence, and the lack of a vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo strain.
