The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the public health risk from the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) from “high” to “very high” at the national level. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the regional risk across Africa remains high, while the global risk is still considered low. The outbreak involves the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there is currently no proven vaccine. This strain is estimated to kill about one-third of infected patients. According to WHO figures, the outbreak has caused hundreds of suspected infections and deaths, with dozens of cases already confirmed in DR Congo. Neighboring Uganda has also reported confirmed cases linked to travelers arriving from eastern Congo. Health officials say the situation in Uganda is stable so far. Scientists at Oxford University are working to develop a vaccine using technology similar to that used for the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. Researchers hope clinical trials could begin within a few months, although there is no guarantee the vaccine will be effective. Animal testing is already underway, and the Serum Institute of India is expected to help mass-produce doses if development progresses successfully. The response effort has been complicated by insecurity and public distrust in eastern DR Congo, where armed rebel groups operate. Tensions escalated after angry relatives attacked and set fire to parts of a hospital when medical staff refused to release the body of an Ebola victim because of contamination risks. Authorities emphasized that Ebola victims require safe burials to prevent further transmission. Fear and anxiety continue to spread among residents in affected communities as health workers struggle to contain the outbreak.

DR Congo's health minister confirms 80 deaths and 246 suspected cases from a new Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo strain, which has no approved vaccine.
