The International Rescue Committee (IRC) warns that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo could become the deadliest on record without urgent international action. Over 900 suspected cases and 220 suspected deaths have been reported, with the outbreak spreading to Uganda. The Bundibugyo virus, which has no proven vaccine, complicates containment efforts. The IRC calls for urgent funding and coordination, highlighting the impact of regional conflict and aid cuts. Bob Kitchen, IRC's vice president, emphasizes the fragility of the situation compared to previous outbreaks. Three Red Cross volunteers have died from suspected Ebola in Ituri Province.
