Last update: 8 hours agoEbola Response Under Fire: In eastern DR Congo’s Ituri, Ebola doctors are battling shortages and a new wave of attacks on treatment sites, with patients fleeing after unrest at Mongbwalu General Hospital and earlier fires and raids that recall the violence of the 2018–2020 outbreak. WHO Warning: WHO chief Tedros says the epidemic in DR Congo and Uganda “will get worse before it gets better,” as suspected deaths climb and the outbreak is outpacing response. Uganda Link: Uganda reports additional confirmed cases tied to the Congo outbreak, keeping border and screening measures in focus. Regional Security Alarm: African officials warn Ebola is becoming a wider regional threat as conflict, mistrust, and weak health systems disrupt containment. Public Health Ethics: A separate debate is growing over how far governments should go in arresting health workers during emergencies amid fears of criminalising fear-driven misinformation. Local Spotlight: Away from the crisis, Kampala-to-Cape Town skateboarder Jason Vanporppal ends his 6,000km journey with a hero’s welcome, while Uganda’s “Ghetto Kids” prepare to perform with Shakira at the World Cup.
