Ebola outbreak in DRC sees record daily increase, death toll rises to 178

15 Haziran 2026Al Jazeera

The ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has seen a record daily increase, bringing the total death toll to 178. This outbreak is attributed to the rare Bundibugyo virus strain, which has resulted in 782 confirmed cases to date.
Health officials are on high alert as the situation continues to evolve rapidly.
Ebola outbreaks in the DRC are not new; however, the emergence of the Bundibugyo strain presents unique challenges. Previous outbreaks have led to significant fatalities and have often overwhelmed local health infrastructure.
The significant rise in cases and deaths highlights the urgent need for effective public health interventions and international support. The rarity of the Bundibugyo strain complicates response efforts, as it may not be as well-studied as other strains.
