  "abstract": "The current outbreak of Ebola is causing major challenges to infrastructure, culture and resources in the eastern parts of the DR Congo and bordering Uganda. Hunger and disease, conflict and suspicion of health care are on a collision course for disaster ( https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/05/1167592%23). There is no treatment, and there are no vaccines, and the incidence is increasing. What do you know about Ebola and the Bundibugyo species of ebolavirus? Agaba J ( The Lancet 2026;407(10544):e14–e17 https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(26)01073-1) summarises the current situation and offers a number of internet links to various aspects of the story of this catastrophe. Many of the dead are women, children and healthcare providers and have been recorded in the Bunia, Rwampara and Mongbwalu areas in the Ituri province in eastern DR Congo. The numbers reported may be an underestimate.",
