WHO Concerned by 'Scale and Speed' of Ebola Spread in DRC The World Health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm over the rapid spread of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The scale and speed of this outbreak are concerning, but what's truly alarming is how these latest numbers reflect an all too familiar pattern: a virus that refuses to be contained despite years of concerted efforts.
The statistics are stark: 131 suspected deaths and 513 potential cases in the east of the country, with a rare strain for which there is no recognized vaccine.
