  "summary": "The Ebola Bundibugyo virus, a rapidly spreading species in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has infected 19 internally displaced people and claimed the lives of five, according to the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR). At least five out of 69 displacement camps in Ituri province have reported Ebola cases, exacerbating an already devastating outbreak. Since the outbreak was declared on May 15, there have been nearly 4,000 cases and over 1,800 deaths in the Ituri province. UNHCR stresses that no cases have been reported among refugees or asylum-seekers, which could potentially threaten transmission beyond the DRC.",
