DRC Ebola outbreak reaches record scale and death toll

Overview

The Bundibugyo-strain Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has become the deadliest and fastest-growing in the country’s history. By late August 2026, the epidemic has reached 5,713 confirmed cases and 2,744 deaths, with a case fatality rate of approximately 48%. The virus is spreading across six provinces, including Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Haut-Uélé, Tshopo, and Bas-Uélé.

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and Africa CDC officially declared the end of the outbreak in neighboring Uganda following a 42-day monitoring period, the situation in the DRC remains critical. Containment efforts are severely hindered by regional conflict, including attacks on ambulances and treatment centers, which have resulted in the deaths of more than 40 health workers.

Funding shortages pose a major threat to the response. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has issued an urgent appeal for $1.1 billion, warning that the epidemic is spreading faster than international responses can contain it. The total humanitarian response plan is estimated at $2.1 billion but is currently only 48 percent funded. Additionally, the WHO has flagged an immediate need for $30 million for logistical operations and medical supplies.

To combat the virus, the Congolese government is utilizing 70,000 allocated Ervebo doses, with 20,000 earmarked for a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate efficacy against the Bundibugyo strain. Meanwhile, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is investing up to $16.5 million in the Minapharm Group to advance a new vaccine candidate using the MVA-CR19 platform.
