WHO declares international emergency over Ebola outbreak
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern over Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain which lacks vaccines and specific treatments and has a 50% lethality rate, has killed dozens, with suspected cases in DRC's Ituri province and confirmed cases in Uganda's Kampala; WHO warns of potential spread to neighboring countries, urging emergency preparedness but opposing border closures.
