Ebola Surge in Eastern DRC: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo to back the fight against the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, warning the crisis may be bigger than official figures and urging safer burials and faster detection as suspected cases climb past 1,000. Hope Amid the Crisis: Five Ebola patients—four nurses and one lab worker—have recovered and been discharged in Bunia, a rare sign that treatment can work even as deaths rise. Vaccine Race: CEPI is funding Moderna up to $50 million to accelerate an mRNA Ebola vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain, with hopes for early trials soon, while EU health ministers plan urgent coordination talks. Regional Pressure & Misinformation: Africa CDC warns that lack of licensed Bundibugyo vaccines and heavy cross-border movement could drive spread across the region, as officials push for accurate reporting and community trust. Cross-Border Spillover Fears: Brazil is investigating two travelers with Ebola-like symptoms after arrivals from DRC and Uganda, with one later testing negative for Ebola but still isolated. Security Complicates Response: Uganda’s UPDF says it will keep fighting ADF rebels in eastern DRC despite the Ebola outbreak, even as WHO calls for ceasefires to let health teams reach communities. Public Backlash in Kenya: Hundreds of Kenyans protested a proposed Kenya–US Ebola quarantine center at Laikipia Air Base, after a court halted the plan.
