Ebola Emergency Escalates: WHO has declared the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, as deaths climb to 88 and suspected cases pass 300. The Bundibugyo strain is driving the crisis, and there’s no approved vaccine or treatment. Cross-border spread alarms: a lab-confirmed case has been detected in Goma (rebel-held, near Rwanda), and WHO says the outbreak has reached Uganda (including Kampala) and even Kinshasa, raising fears it’s larger than reported. Border and travel pressure: Rwanda has closed key border crossings with Goma, while WHO warns countries not to shut borders or restrict trade. Uganda response posture: Uganda is already on heightened surveillance after imported cases were confirmed, with regional partners stepping up screening and preparedness. Other local news: Masaka’s El Cambio and Nalwana won the Slums Derby U13 titles in Kampala.
