Ebola cases are doubling every 28 days

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading faster than any previous Ebola epidemic, according to the African Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC). The number of cases is estimated to double every 28 days, and more resources are needed to combat the disease. Over 600 people have died from Ebola since mid-May in the DRC, while two deaths were reported in neighboring Uganda. Efforts to control the virus are being hindered by violence between rival groups in the affected Ituri province. Meanwhile, at least 12 people died in a severe wildfire in southern Spain, described as the worst forest fire in the region’s history. In other news, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed their coordinated approach against Iran after renewed attacks by both countries. Finally, Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was buried in secret four months after his death.
