(260517) -- RWAMPARA, May 17, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A health worker wearing a mask is seen at the general reference hospital in Rwampara in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, on May 16, 2026. The death toll from the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has risen to 87, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) said Saturday, warning that the outbreak is driven by the Bundibugyo strain, for which no strain-specific vaccine is currently available, and that it carries a high risk of regional spread.
