Ebola Emergency Escalates in DRC: The death toll in eastern DR Congo’s Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak has climbed to at least 118, with hundreds of suspected cases and new hotspots reported across Ituri and North Kivu, including Goma. Cross-Border Spread: Uganda has confirmed two cases and one death, raising fears of wider regional transmission. Funeral-Linked Contagion: Health officials say the outbreak may have surged after exposure during a funeral-linked chain of infections. US Travel Clampdown: The CDC has tightened entry rules, suspending visas and restricting non-US travellers who recently visited DR Congo, Uganda or South Sudan, while screening ramps up at airports. Global Response Pressure: WHO has declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, warning it could be larger than currently detected—while Congo opens more treatment centres and brings in international experts. Uganda Travel Impact: The US Embassy in Kampala paused visa services amid the outbreak.
