WHO puts Ebola outbreak death rate at ‘huge’ 30-50% as chief arrives in DRC
The WHO reports a 30–50% death rate for the DRC Ebola outbreak (Bundibugyo strain) as Director - General Tedros arrives to support containment, urging armed groups to ceasefire. Neighboring Uganda closed its DRC border, Kenya suspended a US quarantine facility, and the US pledged $13.5M to Kenya’s preparedness (and $112M regionally) as WHO recommended vaccine/treatment trials, with a vaccine potentially ready by year’s end.
