WHO considers use of experimental vaccines as Ebola cases and deaths rise in DRC
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the ongoing Bundibugyo strain Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) a public health emergency of international concern. As of May 2026, there are over 500 suspected cases, 130 suspected deaths, confirmed cases in DRC's Ituri province, Uganda's Kampala, and a US citizen transferred to Germany; a WHO official warned the outbreak is unlikely to be resolved in two months due to regional insecurity, population movement, and the absence of vaccines or treatments for this Ebola strain.
