Aid Pressure and Response Gaps: MSF says communities still aren’t getting enough support as the outbreak nears 100 days, calling for stronger detection, safe isolation, and better protection for people seeking care. Regional Security Diplomacy: DR Congo’s defence delegation met Pakistan’s military leadership in Rawalpindi and signed a MoU to deepen defence and security cooperation. Health Supplies and Logistics: WHO and partners report the DRC is receiving 70,000 Ervebo vaccine doses for outbreak response, while CEPI backs $4.17m research on whether existing Ebola vaccines may offer protection against the Bundibugyo strain.
