AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoEbola Update: DR Congo reports its worst-ever Ebola outbreak has passed 7,000 cases, with 7,022 confirmed infections and 3,398 deaths, while the government says the peak was reached in early August and indicators are declining—though WHO and critics warn transmission is uneven and flare-ups can still surge. New Province Spread: The outbreak has now reached a seventh province, South Ubangi, after a fatal case was confirmed far from the epicentre, raising fears of wider contact networks across borders and provinces. Response Strain: Health officials point to ongoing challenges—limited contact tracing, insecurity, displacement, and health worker disruptions—plus the need for more trained staff and treatment capacity. School Tragedy in Bukavu: In eastern DRC, a fire at two schools in Bukavu triggered a stampede, killing at least 26 children (UNICEF) with dozens injured, as students reportedly jumped from upper floors and others were trampled or suffocated.
