Deadly Ebola Outbreak Declared Global Emergency as Cases Spread in Africa

WHO declared an international health emergency over an Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo as cases and deaths climbed.

A confirmed case in Goma and suspected spread into Uganda raised fears the outbreak is moving beyond the original area.

Health agencies warned the outbreak may be larger than reported, increasing concern about wider regional transmission.

The strain involved has no available vaccine, making containment more urgent.
