WHO raises Ebola threat warning to ‘very high’
The World Health Organization elevated the Ebola threat in the Democratic Republic of Congo to 'very high' as the virus spreads, with at least 200 deaths reported. Challenges include undercounted cases, fragile health systems, conflicts, and attacks on facilities. A rare Bundibugyo strain, less studied than the common Zaire variant, complicates containment efforts.
