The Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has led to 600 deaths and 1,759 confirmed cases, according to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) published on July 7. This epidemic, which was officially declared on May 15, is caused by the Bundibugyo strain, for which there is no vaccine or treatment. In the last five decades, Ebola has caused over 15,000 deaths in Africa, with a previous outbreak in the DRC leading to nearly 2,300 deaths between 2018 and 2020. WHO representative in the DRC, Anne Ancia, emphasized that the epidemic continues to spread, and its true scale has not yet been established. Treatment centers are operating at 90% capacity, which puts considerable pressure on the healthcare system. The current outbreak is located in Ituri province, on the border with South Sudan and Uganda, and it is estimated that it could last several months.
