Health authorities are racing to contain a growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, after the World Health Organization declared the crisis a public health emergency of international concern. Officials say the disease may have circulated undetected for weeks in eastern Congo before confirmed cases emerged in Uganda, with suspected infections and deaths continuing to rise. Humanitarian challenges, weak healthcare infrastructure, and ongoing conflict in affected areas are further complicating containment efforts across Central and East Africa.
