“Third Ebola Case in Kenya Exposes US Response Gaps Amid Trump Funding Cuts and WHO Exit” — what this page in the network covers. Kenya has confirmed a third case of Bundibugyo ebolavirus, marking the country's first-ever cluster of Ebola infections. This development comes as the region grapples with the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history, which has killed over 4,300 people and sickened more than 9,000. The new case underscores the consequences of diminished US involvement in global health security.

As the outbreak continues to spread, the reduced US role raises concerns about global preparedness for future health emergencies.
