Why Uganda seems to be winning the battle against Ebola as virus spreads in DR Congo

Uganda discharged its last Ebola patient from hospital roughly two weeks ago.

The virus has now spread across five provinces, including Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Haut-Uélé, and Tshopo, affecting 49 health zones.

There's still no vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain of the virus as the country struggles for control in infected areas.

[UN News] The UN emergency food agency appealed for immediate funding on Wednesday, warning that deepening hunger is undermining the response to an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that has now infected more than 3,200 people.

Authorities in Uganda declared the East Africa nation free of Ebola on Tuesday following the discharge of the country's last patient in mid-June, a delicate milestone as the virus continues to plague neighboring Congo.
