Ebola im Kongo: Warum die WHO den Notstand ausruft und die Impfung nicht hilft | ZDFheute live

Ebola is currently spreading again, and the WHO has declared an international public health emergency. What does that mean? ZDFheute live. New Ebola outbreak: Hundreds of suspected Ebola cases and more than 80 deaths have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The virus has already reached Uganda. Ebola is a highly contagious and life-threatening disease. This time, a variant of the virus is causing problems: the Bundibugyo strain. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no approved vaccine against it – unlike for other Ebola viruses. Ebola outbreaks have occurred frequently before, especially in Central and West Africa. What is different this time? How dangerous is it for Africa and the world? Why is the WHO speaking of an emergency, not a pandemic? And what is the status of vaccinations? ZDFheute live puts the figures and risks into perspective with epidemiologist Dr. Maximilian Gertler from Doctors Without Borders. #ebola #congo #uganda 00:00 Ebola Outbreak 00:50 Situation on the Ground? 01:30 What is Ebola? 02:33 WHO Emergency? 04:00 No Vaccination? 05:30 Spread in Cities 06:32 High Number of Unreported Cases? 08:14 Aid on the Ground? 09:40 Trust Issues? 11:17 What's Next?
