The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an international health emergency over the spread of a rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, after the outbreak killed dozens of people. However, the agency stopped short of calling it a pandemic.

Some 88 people have died from the highly contagious haemorrhagic fever in the DR Congo, with one death in Uganda, and at least 336 suspected cases.

At least 80 people have died in what the World Health Organization says potentially could be a "much larger outbreak than what is currently being detected and reported".
