A Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak declared in May 2026 has produced over 1,000 confirmed and suspected cases across eastern DR Congo and spilled into Uganda, prompting WHO to declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Armed conflict involving the M23/AFC insurgency, ADF, and CODECO militias has rendered health facilities inaccessible, while attacks on treatment centers have scattered patients and killed health workers. The crisis is compounded by U.S. aid cuts that dismantled outbreak infrastructure, a funding gap that dwarfs pledges from remaining donors, and governance failures that predate the current fighting.
