Spread of Ebola in DRC ‘outpacing’ response efforts, warns WHO
The World Health Organization warns the 2026 Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is outpacing response efforts, with 220 suspected deaths reported so far and neighboring countries including Uganda at high transmission risk. Containment is hampered by attacks on health facilities from residents demanding traditional burials for Ebola victims, regional insecurity, and the lack of an approved vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo ebolavirus strain, with Uganda reporting 7 total confirmed Ebola cases including two health workers in Kampala as of May 25 2026.
