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

The WHO chief visited Bunia, Congo, to address a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak where cases exceed response efforts. The Bundibugyo virus, with no approved treatment or vaccine, has caused 906 suspected cases and 223 deaths in Congo, with spillover cases in Uganda. Aid from the EU and U.S. is arriving, but challenges include attacks on health centers and clashes with local burial practices.
