- The Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC is accelerating and spreading beyond Ituri — over 6,800 cases and 3,310 deaths have been reported, with rising numbers in North Kivu and Haut-Uele.
- Response is being undermined by conflict, displacement and health-worker strikes; WHO says the outbreak is out of control and could surpass the 2014–2016 West Africa epidemic.
- Vaccination and clinical trials are underway (Ervebo for front-line workers; trials for a Bundibugyo vaccine), but supplies are limited — roughly 70,000 doses received so far.
