The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a global health alert following an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The outbreak, primarily linked to the Bundibugyo strain, has resulted in 246 suspected cases and over 80 deaths reported in Ituri province. Officials are particularly concerned about cross-border transmission and the impact of ongoing conflict in eastern Congo, which could exacerbate the spread of the virus. An imported case in Uganda from a Congolese patient has also been confirmed, highlighting the risk of international transmission. This outbreak marks the 17th recorded incident of Ebola in the Congo since the virus was first identified in 1976. In response, WHO, Africa CDC, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are coordinating efforts that include surveillance, laboratory testing, contact tracing, and emergency response deployments. Symptoms of Ebola can appear suddenly and include flu-like symptoms, high fever, extreme fatigue, and gastrointestinal distress, with severe cases leading to bleeding and organ failure. Health authorities are intensifying efforts to contain the outbreak amid rising community transmission.
