WHO chief lands in eastern Congo’s Ituri province, epicenter of Ebola, as outbreak outpaces response

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited eastern Congo’s Ituri province, the epicenter of a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak with 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths. The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has no approved treatment or vaccine, and response efforts are hindered by attacks on health centers and rebel group activities in the region.
