AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Update (DRC & Uganda): WHO says the Congo outbreak is still accelerating: 906 suspected Ebola cases and 223 suspected deaths are under investigation, with 125 confirmed cases and 17 deaths reported in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu; WHO also says the first confirmed recovery has happened after a patient was discharged following two negative tests, while Uganda confirmed two more cases in Kampala, bringing Uganda’s total to nine confirmed cases including one death. Aid & Response Pressure: CARE warns the DRC response is being held back by funding shortfalls, with gaps in PPE, lab testing supplies and hygiene kits, as UNICEF and partners airlift over 100 metric tons of emergency supplies into the affected areas. Border & Travel Measures: Uganda has closed its border with the DRC and ordered 21-day quarantine for arrivals; meanwhile, the WHO chief says the outbreak “can be stopped” but is “very complex,” and the US expanded Ebola entry screening to JFK for travelers returning from Ebola-affected regions. Legal/Policy Fallout (Kenya-US): A Kenyan court temporarily halted a US plan for a 50-bed Ebola quarantine facility for Americans, with the next hearing set for June 2. Local Governance/Accountability: In Kampala, President Museveni ordered three Internal Affairs and Police officials to step aside over alleged graft tied to maintenance of the national CCTV system. Fact Check (Cambodia): Cambodia and Ghana dismissed as fake a viral notice claiming Africans must leave Cambodia by May 31 or face arrest and fines.
