AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoEbola Response in Ituri: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged communities in Bunia to seek care early and follow safe burial practices as DR Congo battles a fast-moving Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, with the virus spreading faster than the response amid conflict, displacement, food shortages, and mistrust. Travel Bans Under Review: Tedros called on countries that closed borders or imposed travel bans to reconsider, saying restrictions can slow response and discourage transparency. Recoveries Signal Hope: Authorities reported five Ebola recoveries in Bunia, including four medical workers discharged after negative tests. Case Counts Climb: DR Congo reported 263 confirmed cases as of May 29, with 42 deaths among confirmed cases, while MSF warned the true scale is hard to measure due to limited testing and untested samples. Funding Pressure: WHO said it has received only about a third of needed funding, urging more international support to expand testing, contact tracing, and treatment capacity.
