Ebola cases increase almost 40% in a week as death toll passes 200

Over 200 people have died and about 894 cases have been confirmed so far in an Ebola outbreak centered in eastern Congo that has also spread into Uganda.
The outbreak is caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain, which has no approved vaccine or treatments, making it unusually worrying compared with past Zaire-strain outbreaks.
Response is struggling — contact tracing is limited by conflict, displacement and mobile mining communities, and only about $90M of the $900M pledged has been released.
