The World Health Organization reports that five patients have recovered from a rare type of Ebola virus in eastern Congo. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced the recoveries during a visit to Bunia, the provincial capital of Ituri. The Bundibugyo virus, the current species of Ebola, has no approved treatment or vaccine. Despite improved health facilities, the virus is spreading faster than the response. Doctors Without Borders is calling for expanded testing and faster aid deployment. Local anger over burial protocols has led to attacks on health centers. WHO is emphasizing community involvement in the outbreak response.
