Last update: 2 hours agoEbola Crisis in Eastern DRC: Congo’s Ebola outbreak is surging again after officials reconciled provincial and national data, pushing confirmed infections toward 3,000 and deaths past 1,000, with the Bundibugyo strain driving the worst fatal spike on record and no approved vaccine yet. Containment Under Fire: Health teams say insecurity, attacks on clinics, mistrust, and mass displacement are forcing them to suspend work, making contact tracing and early detection harder just as cases spread beyond Ituri. New Vaccine Trial Moves Forward: Oxford researchers have started the first human trial of a Bundibugyo Ebola jab, with the first dose given to a volunteer in the UK as scientists race to test safety and immune response. Regional Response: Uganda has cleared its last confirmed patient and started a 42-day countdown to declare its outbreak over, while Tanzania says it has tightened border surveillance to keep Ebola out. Humanitarian Pressure: WFP warns that food aid for Congolese refugees in Burundi could end without urgent funding, threatening worsening hunger and malnutrition.
