AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Surge in DRC: The Democratic Republic of Congo says the Ebola death toll has climbed to 204 from 867 suspected cases, as WHO upgraded the risk to “very high” and Uganda confirmed three new cases. Regional Alarm: Africa CDC warns 10 more countries are at high risk—Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Zambia—citing high mobility and insecurity. Frontline Losses: The Red Cross mourned three volunteers who died after suspected Ebola exposure while handling bodies in Ituri. Security and Community Friction: In eastern DRC, attacks on Ebola response sites and clashes over burial rules are intensifying, threatening containment. Cross-Border Response: Tanzania–Uganda and other border areas are stepping up joint surveillance, while travel curbs and screening measures spread internationally. Fuel Pressure: Separately, parts of East and Central Africa report fuel shortages linked to Middle East supply disruptions, adding strain to already stressed health systems.
