Mr. Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator – Virtual Briefing to Member States on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1 September 2026
The 1 September OCHA briefing places the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak firmly within the international humanitarian response. WHO had recorded 5,794 confirmed cases and 2,786 deaths in the DRC by 26 August, with transmission reaching 60 health zones. Cross-border movement, displacement and fragile health systems make the outbreak an international humanitarian concern, reinforced by cases linked to Uganda, France and Germany.
