Ebola Emergency: Africa CDC has confirmed a new Ebola outbreak in DR Congo’s Ituri province, reporting 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths, with four deaths among laboratory-confirmed patients. The hotspots are Mongwalu and Rwampara, and suspected cases are also being watched in Bunia. Early lab results point to a non-Zaire strain, with sequencing still underway—raising concerns about how well existing tools will fit. Cross-Border Response: Africa CDC says it is convening an urgent meeting with DR Congo, Uganda, South Sudan and partners to tighten surveillance, preparedness, and response across borders as mining-linked mobility and insecurity threaten containment. Humanitarian Pressure: At the same time, UN agencies warn hunger is worsening across the country, with needs far outpacing aid—adding strain to already fragile health systems.
