Mourners bury a 6-month-old Ebola victim in the Congo outbreak's third orphanage death

Mourners buried a 6-month-old Ebola victim in Bunia as masked health workers carried out a “safe” but impersonal burial, highlighting local grief and fear.
The outbreak is centered in Ituri but has spread to other eastern provinces and Uganda; officials report hundreds of confirmed cases and many deaths amid clashes over the response.
This is the Bundibugyo strain — with no approved vaccine or treatment — and health workers face shortages of protective gear; the government has moved to make care free in Ituri and double worker bonuses.
