The lethal Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo is escalating, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Population mobility is exacerbating the spread, with officials confirming 1,561 cases and 506 deaths. This marks the most severe outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain, yet no proven treatment or cure is available.
