Ebola Outbreak Rages After Trump Gutted Global Health Safeguards
An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda has raised concerns due to its rapid spread and the rare Bundibugyo strain. The World Health Organization reported at least 130 deaths and over 500 suspected cases, exacerbated by weakened global health safeguards following the Trump administration's policies. Experts warn that the outbreak could escalate further, especially in urban areas like Goma and Kampala, if not effectively managed.
