AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoEbola Emergency: The WHO says DR Congo’s Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak is now the largest ever recorded in the country, with 3,605 confirmed cases and 1,587 deaths as of July 30, and warns it’s spreading at an “exceptional pace.” The outbreak has expanded to 49 health zones across five provinces (Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Haut-Uélé, Tshopo), with insecurity, displacement, mobility and cross-border movement hampering response. International Support: A third Chinese medical expert team arrived in Kinshasa to boost surveillance, treatment and lab testing. Prison Security: In Kasai province, at least 50 inmates escaped from Luebo prison in a “well-prepared” breakout; authorities suspect security involvement and say three rifles were taken. Travel Curbs: Saudi Arabia temporarily suspended entry for travellers from DR Congo (along with Uganda and South Sudan) as a precaution linked to Ebola risk. Air Connectivity: Air Congo announced a new direct Kinshasa–Paris route, its second European destination after Brussels.
