Ebola Emergency: DR Congo has confirmed a fresh Ebola outbreak in eastern Ituri province, with 65 deaths and 246 suspected cases reported so far, mainly in Mongwalu and Rwampara; the health ministry says lab tests confirmed the Bundibugyo strain and the government has activated its emergency response, while Africa CDC is pushing urgent cross-border coordination with Uganda and South Sudan. Cross-Border Alarm: Uganda confirmed an imported Ebola case in Kampala after a Congolese man died, and his body was repatriated—raising fears of spread along busy mining and travel routes. Response Pressure: The outbreak is linked to a volatile, hard-to-reach area with heavy population movement, and officials say sequencing is ongoing, which could complicate treatment and prevention plans.
