Part of situation: DRC Ebola outbreak expands and impacts healthcare workers (408 clusters)

DRC Ebola outbreak claims nearly 1,000 deaths

Bundibugyo Ebola DRC outbreak nearly 1,000 deaths experimental vaccines WHO emergency

The Bundibugyo strain Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has caused 999 confirmed deaths in the DRC and two in neighboring Uganda, with 2,473 laboratory‑confirmed cases reported to date. The virus, for which no approved vaccine or treatment exists, is spreading faster than any previous Ebola epidemic in the country, affecting the provinces of Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Haut‑Uele and Tshopo. Armed conflict, community resistance to safe burial practices and attacks on health teams have hampered response efforts, while 80 % of new cases arise outside known transmission chains. The World Health Organization has declared the situation a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and issued new clinical‑management guidelines. Experimental vaccines and therapeutics, including Oxford’s ChAdOx1 candidate and an rVSV‑based vaccine, have entered early‑stage trials. Humanitarian workers from Samaritan’s Purse were placed under a 21‑day quarantine in Kenya, and a UK resident was medically evacuated for precautionary monitoring, reflecting heightened border controls. Despite these challenges, the response includes scaling up diagnostic capacity, contact‑tracing, and community engagement, with some signs of stabilization in certain zones.
