A deadly Ebola outbreak is triggering global alarm after the World Health Organization declared the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Health officials say more than 130 people have died as the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola spreads rapidly across eastern Congo, with confirmed cases also reported in Uganda. Unlike previous Ebola outbreaks, this strain currently has no approved vaccine or specific treatment. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned the organization is “deeply concerned” by the speed and scale of the outbreak, particularly as infections spread in conflict-hit and densely populated regions #Ebola #EbolaOutbreak #WHO #WHOEbola #CongoEbolaOutbreak #DRCEbolaOutbreak #UgandaEbolaOutbreak #AfricaEbolaOutbreak #EbolaVirusOutbreak #Ebola2026 #EbolaOutbreak2026 #EbolaOutbreakUpdate #KampalaEbolaOutbreak #MongbwaluMiningEbolaOutbreak #EbolaVirus #WHOResponse #DRC #Uganda #Congo #GlobalHealth #VirusOutbreak #HealthEmergency #PublicHealth #DiseaseOutbreak #BreakingNews
