AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCholera: The DRC has recorded about 60,000 cases and 1,800 deaths this year, WHO says, calling it the country’s worst outbreak in decades. Most cases are in North and South Kivu, but infections along the Congo River basin raise concern about spread to Kinshasa. Rainy-season conditions and poor access to conflict-hit areas are hampering the response; the reported death rate is about 3%. Ebola: The outbreak has reached 10,414 confirmed cases and 5,372 deaths, with a reported fatality rate above 50%, according to health authorities’ latest figures cited in coverage. The Bundibugyo strain has no approved vaccine or treatment, while insecurity and limited access continue to complicate efforts to control the spread. Care Under Siege: Residents of Minembwe in South Kivu report worsening shortages of medicines and food after a month-long blockade restricted supplies and movement, leaving sick and wounded people with less access to care.
