At least 506 people have died from Ebola in Congo, with 1,561 confirmed cases since May 15. Health workers in Ituri province threatened to strike over unpaid benefits, poor working conditions, and lack of equipment, complicating efforts to contain the outbreak in three eastern provinces. The Bundibugyo virus, which lacks approved vaccines, is responsible for the outbreak, contrasting with the Zaire virus, for which a vaccine exists.

A 6-month-old girl died from Ebola at an orphanage in eastern Congo, the third such death as the outbreak spreads. The Bundibugyo strain, with no approved vaccine or treatment, has caused 894 confirmed cases and over 200 deaths, with conflicts over safe burial practices complicating containment efforts.

Congo reports 72 new Ebola cases in 24 hours, raising total confirmed cases to 782 with 181 deaths. The outbreak, driven by the Bundibugyo virus, faces challenges due to displacement, remote regions, and overwhelmed treatment centers in Ituri province, with spread to Uganda.

The World Health Organization warns that the Ebola outbreak in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo is expanding into new areas and is larger than previously detected, with 676 confirmed cases and 136 deaths. No approved vaccines exist for the Bundibugyo species causing the outbreak, which has spread to Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu provinces, as well as into Uganda.

Congo's Ebola outbreak has resulted in 101 deaths out of 550 confirmed cases, primarily in Ituri province, with spread to Uganda and other regions. Conflict, attacks on health workers, and low testing rates are complicating containment efforts, while the Bundibugyo virus strain lacks an approved vaccine.

Congo's Ebola outbreak has caused 100 deaths out of 550 cases, primarily in the Ituri province, with conflict and attacks on health workers hindering the response. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo virus without an approved vaccine, has spread to Uganda and faces challenges due to delayed detection and ongoing violence.

Uganda closed its border with Congo over Ebola contagion fears, stranding traders and causing significant losses as cargo spoils. The border closure, aimed at preventing cross-border transmission, has disrupted trade and livelihoods in the Mpondwe region.

Islamic State-linked militia attacks in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, killed over 30 people near Beni, a key area for the Ebola outbreak. The raids have disrupted the Ebola response, with three patients fleeing clinics, according to the governor.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing its 17th Ebola outbreak, declared a public health emergency by the WHO with 139 suspected deaths and nearly 600 cases primarily in northeastern provinces. The outbreak's spread is being hampered by conflict and aid cuts, with concerns about regional transmission to neighboring countries like Uganda and South Sudan.

The World Health Organization reports a low risk of global spread of the Ebola outbreak, but high risk at national and regional levels, with 51 confirmed cases in Congo and 2 in Uganda. The WHO Director-General expects the number of cases to increase. The outbreak is currently affecting the northern provinces of Ituri and North Kivu in Congo, as well as Uganda's capital, Kampala.
