UNHCR Expresses Alarm Over Spreading Ebola in Eastern DRC, Endangering Displaced Populations

The UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, has voiced serious concern regarding the rapid spread of the Bundibugyo Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern regions. This outbreak poses a significant threat to the more than two million displaced individuals residing in affected areas, with reported cases and fatalities in both DRC and Uganda. The movement of these populations heightens fears of broader disease transmission.
