The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a low risk of a global Ebola outbreak, despite the high national and regional risks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced that 51 confirmed cases have been reported in DRC's northern provinces of Ituri and North Kivu, alongside two confirmed cases in Uganda's capital, Kampala. The situation is exacerbated by nearly 600 suspected cases and 139 deaths under investigation. The outbreak, which has claimed the lives of over 130 individuals, is attributed to the Bundibugyo virus, a rare strain of Ebola that lacks approved treatments or vaccines. This marks only the third detection of this variant, despite DRC and Uganda's history of more than 20 Ebola outbreaks. Ghebreyesus expressed deep concern over the epidemic's scale and speed, prompting WHO to convene its emergency committee for guidance. The outbreak was first identified on Friday, and health authorities are actively monitoring the situation.
