Surge in Suspected Cases: Congo health figures put suspected Ebola cases at 1,077 with 121 confirmed and 17 confirmed deaths, as authorities say the real toll is likely higher and containment corridors are strained.

Bundibugyo Strain Challenge: Africa CDC says the rare Bundibugyo strain was initially missed because teams tested for the more common Zaire Ebola, and there is still no approved vaccine or treatment. Regional Spread Risk: Africa CDC warns the outbreak could reach up to 12 countries, while Uganda and others tighten borders and screening. World Cup Fallout: DRC asked FIFA for ticket refunds over US travel restrictions; meanwhile, FIFA/FECOFA say the team is compliant with US Ebola protocols, even as the US requires 21-day isolation for entry.
