Ebola Crisis in Eastern DRC: The death toll from DR Congo’s fast-spreading Ebola outbreak has passed 3,000, with 6,186 confirmed cases and 3,007 deaths reported as the virus continues to spread across six provinces. WHO Response Pressure: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the response must be scaled up urgently, warning that transmission chains are still not fully identified and that unsafe burials and deaths outside known contacts are fueling spread. UN Warns of Access and Funding Gaps: UN relief officials say the virus is moving faster than containment efforts, with conflict, displacement, and limited access hampering large-scale action. Vaccine and Treatment Updates: WHO has restricted Ervebo use for the Bundibugyo strain to research protocols only, while clinical trials and vaccination efforts for health workers continue. School Reopenings Under Risk: Despite fears, schools are reopening in Ebola-affected areas, with handwashing, temperature checks, and reduced close contact—while some families remain hesitant. Community Guidance: A Catholic bishop in Bunia urged safe handling of suspected Ebola bodies and cooperation with response teams for dignified, safer funerals. International Support: The US has donated an experimental Ebola antibody treatment (MBP134) to Uganda as a precaution against spillover from the DRC outbreak. Governance and Accountability: A Brussels court has ordered trial for Semlex and others over alleged corruption and money laundering tied to a DRC passport deal.
