AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEbola Emergency in DRC: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo could become “deadliest on record” without urgent action, as conflict, displacement, food insecurity and mistrust keep response teams from reaching communities; he urged warring parties to declare a ceasefire and said travel bans don’t help much. WHO Treatment Push: WHO recommended clinical trials for several experimental options against the Bundibugyo strain, including monoclonal antibodies and an antiviral, stressing products should be used only in trials while surveillance and contact tracing continue. Aid and Supplies: UNICEF said more than 100 tons of EU-backed emergency supplies have arrived in Ituri, including protective gear, medicines and hygiene items, as the situation remains “extremely worrying.” World Cup Fallout: With Ebola fears rising, the US, Canada and Mexico announced aligned travel measures for people arriving from high-risk African regions ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026, including Canada’s 90-day entry ban for residents of DR Congo, Uganda and South Sudan and 21-day quarantine rules. US–Kenya Quarantine Plan: Kenya approved a US plan to open an Ebola quarantine facility at an air force base in Laikipia for Americans exposed in the DRC, but Kenyan doctors and rights groups have criticized the move.
