WHO chief visits epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo as cases outpace response

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited eastern Congo's Bunia, the epicenter of a fast-spreading Ebola outbreak, as cases surpass 900 with 223 suspected deaths. The Bundibugyo virus, with no approved treatment or vaccine, has prompted aid from the EU and U.S., but response efforts lag behind the outbreak's pace, according to Doctors Without Borders. Security challenges and local resistance to medical protocols further complicate containment.
