The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as 'spreading rapidly,' raising the risk assessment to 'very high' at the national level. As of now, 82 confirmed cases and 750 suspected cases have been reported, with 7 confirmed deaths and 177 suspected deaths. The outbreak is attributed to the Bundibugyo virus, which lacks approved vaccines or treatments. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized the need for a robust response, highlighting that $3.9 million has been allocated to assist the DRC's efforts, alongside the deployment of 22 international staff. Measures in neighboring Uganda, where two cases were reported, have been effective in preventing further spread. However, local distrust and insecurity in the affected regions complicate the response, as demonstrated by a recent arson attack on an Ebola treatment center. The WHO is prioritizing the development of treatments and vaccines, including a clinical trial for the antiviral obeldesivir, while also addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of the displaced population in the region.
