Beni: 5 confirmed cases of Ebola, including 2 patients who have fled
The Ebola virus disease epidemiological situation is worsening in the city of Beni. The North Kivu health bulletin of May 29, 2026, confirms three new cases in the Beni health zone. The city now has a total of five confirmed cases, including three deaths and two active cases still hospitalized.
According to the same bulletin, shared by the communication unit of the North Kivu governorate, Beni becomes the second active hotspot in the province after Katwa.
Of the five confirmed cases in Beni, two patients escaped from the Ebola Treatment Center (ETC). Provincially, five escapees have been recorded: two in Beni, one in Katwa, one in Kyondo, and one in Oicha. This escape of confirmed cases seriously complicates the work of the surveillance teams.
The province recorded four new confirmed cases in 24 hours: three in Beni and one in Oicha. The provincial total now stands at 19 confirmed cases.
The disease remains highly lethal. Twelve people have already died out of the 19 confirmed cases. No recoveries have yet been reported in North Kivu. Six active cases are currently being treated in the province's Ebola Treatment Centers (ETCs).
The Katwa health zone remains the most affected with seven confirmed cases, five deaths, two active cases, and one escapee. One patient is currently being treated at Ngothe Hospital.
In Oicha, the new case brings the total to two confirmed cases, including one death and one escapee. Butembo has recorded two deaths out of two confirmed cases. Goma has one active case being treated at HPNK. Kyondo and Kalunguta each have one confirmed case.
The teams are continuing to trace the chains of transmission. In total, 552 contacts have been recorded, but only 364 were seen this Friday, representing a follow-up rate of 66%.
The province also reported 116 suspected cases and 93 suspected deaths during the day. Twenty-three samples were sent to the laboratory.
The seven affected health zones out of 34, as well as 12 affected health areas out of 677, confirm the spread of the epidemic.
Health authorities are calling on the population of Beni to cooperate. Any suspected case must be reported, and those who are ill are urged to accept treatment in order to break the chain of transmission.

Ebola in Ituri: a church suspends its activities after three deaths
June 1, 2026
Bunia, June 1, 2026 (ACP) - All activities of the "La Louange" church in Bunia, capital of Ituri province, the epicenter of the Ebola epidemic in the Northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have been suspended until further notice, as part of Ebola prevention measures, after three deaths of its members, according to a statement consulted Monday by ACP.
"Given the critical moment we are going through within our community during this Ebola virus disease epidemic, and following the death of some servants of God, all activities organized in our cells are suspended until further notice," read the statement signed by Reverend Jacques Lika, head of this church for the ecclesiastical province of Ituri.
This suspension follows the recording of three Ebola-related deaths within this religious community.
The measure "specifically concerns morning prayer meetings, choir rehearsals, Sunday services, and other activities organized within the various branches of this Christian community," the statement indicated, calling on the faithful "to continue praying at home while awaiting the resumption of church activities."
The leaders of the cells in this church have been instructed to carry out systematic disinfection of the places of worship under their responsibility, in order to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.
The head of this Christian community also urged his followers to strictly observe the recommendations of the health authorities and to maintain prayer at home while awaiting the resumption of activities within the churches.
This decision comes amid strengthened Ebola response measures in Ituri, where health authorities and their partners are continuing awareness campaigns, epidemiological surveillance and prevention efforts to contain the spread of the epidemic.

Ebola: Bunia airport is operational again after the strengthening of health measures
Tuesday, June 2, 2026 - 06:24
The government, through the Ministry of Transport, has announced the reopening of Bunia airport, the capital of Ituri province, the epicenter of the Ebola virus disease outbreak. The airport had been closed due to the epidemic, amidst ongoing renovations of this strategic provincial infrastructure.
After the installation of monitoring devices at departure and arrival, the supervising ministry indicated on Monday, June 1st, that the health authorities considered that the conditions were right for a gradual and safe resumption of air traffic.
"Following the health assessments of the Ebola virus disease epidemic surveillance process carried out by the competent authorities, including the Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene and Social Welfare, the authorities have determined that the conditions are now in place to allow a gradual and safe resumption of air activities," said the statement from the Ministry of Transport.
To prevent any risk of resurgence, the statement emphasizes that the following public health measures must be strictly applied in airport and port facilities:
-Systematic check of the body temperature of all passengers before boarding and upon arrival;
- Strict hand hygiene: all passengers must wash their hands with soap and water or with the hydroalcoholic products provided before boarding;
- Immediate handling of suspected cases: any passenger with a fever will not be allowed to board and will be immediately referred to agents of the National Border Hygiene Program (PNHF) for assessment and handling in accordance with the health protocols in force.
The decision to close the airport in Bunia, the capital of Ituri province, had raised serious concerns in economic and humanitarian circles. The city is a crucial logistical hub in eastern DRC, especially since Goma, occupied by the Rwandan-backed AFC/M23 rebellion, has been virtually cut off from the rest of the world for over a year.
The main concern was that the flight suspension would complicate the movements of humanitarian organizations, the supply of certain areas, and commercial activities in this part of the country, which is rich in raw materials such as gold and other minerals. This province is also under a state of siege due to the activities of local and foreign armed groups.

WOAH Statement on the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda
Published on 2 June 2026
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) expresses its deep concern following the emergence of the 17th Ebola Virus Disease (Bundibugyo virus) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and potential spread to neighboring countries.
Ebola Virus Disease is a zoonotic disease, transmitted from animals to humans and then between humans. Its repeated emergence is a reminder that human health and animal health are strongly interlinked. While the specific animal reservoir associated with this current outbreak has not yet been identified, scientific evidence from previous outbreaks points to wildlife species, particularly fruit bats and potentially other wild animals as a likely source of transmission. The origin of infection in the current outbreak remains under investigation.
WOAH underscores the importance of stronger surveillance at the animal-human-environmental interface and calls for a stronger rollout of the One Health approach at country, cross-border and regional level. It also reiterates the importance of consistently increasing support for upstream prevention of spillover infection from wildlife to humans and the critical role of well-resourced and competent animal health systems.
Understanding where the virus originates, how it moves between species and where it is likely to re-emerge, requires animal and environmental health systems working in close collaboration with public health systems for effective risk-based surveillance and data sharing.
Strengthening wildlife surveillance and health intelligence, improving risk communication related to wildlife and animal exposure, strengthening veterinary laboratory diagnostics, and ensuring effective coordination among public health, veterinary, wildlife, and environmental sectors are all critical components of preparedness and response to this Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak.
WOAH is collaborating with its members and partners to support the animal health dimensions of prevention and preparedness. This includes:- Strengthening animal health surveillance systems
- Promoting early detection of zoonotic risks
- Supporting risk communication
- Supporting the prevention of spillover events at the animal–human–environment interface
- Increasing knowledge about the virus’s life cycle and role in the epidemiology dynamic
WOAH also continues to engage with its Quadripartite partners (WHO, FAO, and UNEP) to advance the One Health approach, especially in supporting countries implementing integrated systems that protect human, animal, and environmental health.
Prevention remains the most effective line of defense. Strengthening wildlife surveillance and health intelligence, veterinary laboratory capacity, risk communication, community engagement and cross-sectoral One Health coordination is essential to reducing the risk of disease emergence and zoonotic spillover.
Sustained investment in fully operational animal health systems, including prevention-focused interventions, is not only critical for animal health; it is a core component of global health security and pandemic prevention.
