Ebola cases increase almost 40% in a week as death toll passes 200
The Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda has surpassed 200 deaths with 894 confirmed cases, driven by the Bundibugyo virus which lacks approved vaccines. Cases increased 38% in a week, affecting 32 health zones, while contact tracing is hindered by conflict, displacement, and underfunded response efforts.
