What happened

Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

An Ebola outbreak continues in Ituri Province, which is the epicenter of the current health crisis, with reports confirming nearly 3,200 deaths among more than 6,600 confirmed cases since mid-May. The disease has also been confirmed in Lubero territory within North Kivu province, an area controlled by the March 23 Movement (M23). Meanwhile, in Tanganyika province, severe fighting between the Congolese army and the M23 rebel group has led to mass displacement, overwhelming camps due to fire and limited resources.

Why it matters

The combination of an active Ebola outbreak and sustained conflict across multiple provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo presents a major regional stability risk. The situation strains international health organizations and overwhelms local infrastructure in affected areas like North Kivu and South Kivu. The crisis also involves accusations of international involvement in the regional conflict.
