AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoEbola Emergency: DR Congo’s Bundibugyo outbreak has passed 10,000 confirmed cases, with 4,887 deaths recorded by Oct. 25. It has affected eight provinces and spread to other countries, including Kenya and Nigeria. Ituri accounts for more than 70% of DRC cases. Conflict, poor access and mistrust are hampering containment as WHO urges stronger cross-border surveillance. Vaccine Trial: A clinical trial launched in Bunia is testing the Ervebo vaccine, developed for a different Ebola strain, and may add candidates designed for Bundibugyo. No vaccine or specific treatment is yet approved for this strain. Community Support: Misinformation and attacks on health workers are undermining care. WFP is providing food to patients and families, supporting treatment centres and moving supplies to hard-to-reach areas.
