AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola Escalation: Ebola is surging across central Africa as Uganda reports three new positive cases, bringing its total to five, while the WHO says the DRC outbreak stands at 82 confirmed cases and 7 confirmed deaths, with nearly 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths. Violence Against Care: In the DRC’s Ituri province, attackers burned an Ebola treatment tent in Mongbwalu, and earlier locals set fire to another facility after being blocked from retrieving a body—fueling panic and complicating response. New Strain Alarm: Scientists say the outbreak is driven by a rare Bundibugyo Ebola sub-strain that likely jumped from animals to humans and may have spread for weeks before detection. US Screening Tightens: The US expanded mandatory Ebola screening entry points, adding Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson and later Houston’s Bush Airport, alongside Washington’s Dulles. Regional Risk Watch: Africa CDC warned 10 countries—including South Sudan—are “at risk,” urging cross-border coordination and faster preparedness.
