Last update: 3 hours agoEbola Alarm Escalates: DR Congo and Uganda are on edge as the DRC reports 513 suspected cases and 131 suspected deaths, with WHO confirming 30 cases in Ituri and two confirmed cases in Kampala after travel from the DRC. Health leaders say the outbreak’s “patient zero” is still unclear, while WHO and Africa CDC warn about the scale and speed—especially amid insecurity and heavy population movement. Burundi Readiness: Burundi has moved to step up Ebola surveillance after the DRC outbreak, citing the Bujumbura–Goma corridor and less-than-400km proximity, with tighter border screening, temporary monitoring structures, trained health workers, and rapid detection kits. EAC Environment Watch: In parallel, the EAC unveiled its first Lake Victoria Basin report, flagging pollution and urban planning gaps that are worsening ecosystem decline. Regional Tech Push: East Africa also launched an EAC AI Alliance to tackle fragmented AI efforts across member states.
