Ebola crisis could become worst on record
A US public health expert warns the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda could surpass the 2014 crisis, with over 900 suspected cases and 223 deaths reported. Stephanie Psaki attributes the crisis to reduced US-backed aid programs and detection failures, while the State Department defends its response strategy. The CDC has initiated airport screenings for travelers from affected regions.
