PEOPLE WASHING HANDS (TWO SHOTS)GOMA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO - MAY 22: Authorities in Goma have intensified measures against the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Congo has witnessed a spike in Ebola cases since an outbreak was declared May 15 in Ituri province, and the disease has since spread to North Kivu and South Kivu provinces. About 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths have been reported, according to the World Health Organization. At least 82 cases and seven deaths have been confirmed. Two imported cases involving Congolese nationals were also reported in neighboring Uganda. The Congolese government has suggested the virus poses a bigger threat in parts of the country occupied by M23 rebels because the group lacks experience in handling epidemics. The M23 has been at the center of the conflict in eastern Congo. The rebel group allegedly supported by neighboring Rwanda, according to the UN and Western nations, controls significant territory in eastern Congo, including the provincial capitals of Goma and Bukavu, which were seized early in 2025.
