More than 900 suspected Ebola cases, including 101 confirmed infections, have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak - caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain - a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Health experts say there is currently no approved vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain, and that ongoing conflict, population displacement, and misinformation are hindering containment efforts.
