AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Ebola Trust Test in Mongbwalu: In DR Congo’s hardest-hit mining town, Ebola is now reaching homes and funerals, with Mongbwalu’s health zone reporting 339 suspected cases and 88 suspected deaths as rumors and fear complicate burial teams and contact tracing. Numbers Jump, Risk Rises: WHO says the outbreak has expanded to 900+ suspected cases, with deaths climbing as insecurity and displacement in Ituri keep response teams from operating fully. Uganda Adds Cases: Uganda confirmed two new Ebola infections, bringing its total to seven, including health workers in Kampala. Congo Tightens the Mineral Crackdown: Amid the health emergency, Congo suspended mining in parts of South Kivu’s Mwenga and Shabunda to target illicit trade networks tied to insecurity. Travel and Movement Disrupted: Bunia passenger flights were suspended, and regional alerts widened—while Kinshasa largely carries on, underscoring how uneven the outbreak’s pressure is across the country.
