Did US aid cuts worsen Ebola outbreak in Central Africa?
As of May 2026, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda are facing the deadliest-ever outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo Ebola strain, which has killed at least 139 people and resulted in 600 suspected cases. Health experts and aid workers debate whether recent US cuts to global health aid—including funding for USAID and the WHO, alongside workforce reductions at the CDC—exacerbated delayed detection and response, though other factors like initial misdiagnosis, regional violence, and European aid cuts also contributed to the crisis.
