Congo's Ebola surge: 72 new cases in a day sparks urgent response

72 new Ebola cases were reported in 24 hours in Congo, raising the total to 782 cases and 181 deaths in a Bundibugyo-virus outbreak centered in Ituri. Weak contact tracing, insecurity, and funding gaps are hampering the response, while the WHO and Africa CDC expand testing, tracing, and treatment as cases spread to North and South Kivu and across the Uganda border.
