Ebola Escalation: DR Congo’s health minister says the Ebola toll has climbed to 131 deaths from 513 suspected cases, with WHO warning the outbreak’s scale and speed could mean a longer fight—especially since the Bundibugyo strain has no licensed vaccine or treatment and lab confirmation is still limited. Global Response: WHO is weighing whether to use experimental vaccines, while the US tightens entry rules and moves an American doctor to Germany for care. Regional Alarm: Uganda has reported confirmed cases, and neighboring countries are stepping up border checks and preparedness, as locals in Ituri describe fear and fast-moving deaths. Frontline Strain: Aid groups say conflict, displacement, and weak health access are making detection and protection harder, even as health workers race to expand treatment and tracing.
