AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEbola Response in DRC: WHO says the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak is likely far larger than confirmed counts, with 70–80% of new cases in Bunia coming from outside known contact lists, and modelling suggesting the real number could be 2–4 times higher; meanwhile, WHO and Africa CDC chiefs plan a mission to Bunia on July 18–19 to push faster containment, while CDC reports a U.S. humanitarian worker in DRC has tested positive, raising fresh concerns for responder protection. Treatment Trial Starts: Doctors have begun enrolling patients in urgent experimental treatment trials in Congo, testing medicines including remdesivir and MBP134 as communities in Bunia wait for results amid low trust and disrupted response. Health Workers Strike: Ebola response workers in Congo have protested over unpaid wages, adding pressure to an already strained system. Justice Push in Katanga: Katanga lawyers filed an ICC complaint accusing President Félix Tshisekedi and officials of crimes against humanity, including alleged massacres and the abduction of Pastor Mulunda. Regional Security & Displacement: Reports from South Kivu allege drone strikes on Burundian reinforcements, while Tanzania’s Nyarugusu camp nears closure as remaining Burundian refugees warn of “starve to death or return home.”
