Society for AIDS in Africa Concerned Over Ebola Outbreak in DRC and Uganda

Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya announced on June 25 that funding needed for the Ebola response had risen to $1.4 billion, nearly triple an earlier estimate of $518 million, warning that without the funds the outbreak cannot be stopped.

The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has infected over 1,000 people in Congo and 20 in Uganda, recording the highest first-month case total of any Ebola outbreak on record. A WHO official noted it took just 37 days to reach 250 deaths, compared with 78 days during the 2014 West Africa outbreak.

A health worker who supported the Ebola response in Congo's Ituri province from May 19 to June 19 was diagnosed with Ebola in France after developing mild symptoms upon returning. Africa CDC said the worker left the DRC without symptoms and met all applicable travel requirements.

Kaseya said the humanitarian crisis in Ituri province, the outbreak's epicenter, is worsening containment efforts. He warned that if the outbreak is not stopped soon, it will be worse than any previous Ebola outbreak, including those in West Africa and eastern DRC.

Response efforts have been hampered by attacks on treatment centers, supply shortages and ongoing conflict. The White House submitted a supplemental funding request to Congress that includes $1.4 billion to fight the outbreak in Central Africa.

Africa CDC has urged the international community to reject unscientific travel and trade restrictions, saying such measures slow the deployment of response teams and delivery of essential supplies. Officials also note that more than 36,000 contacts of confirmed cases have yet to be traced.

The Ebola crisis in Congo is rooted in centuries of colonial exploitation and Western indifference — the same global demand for cobalt, gold and coltan that powers smartphones is driving deforestation and pushing the virus into human populations. A vaccine would already exist if this disease had struck Western nations first. Cutting foreign aid while profiting from Congo's $24 trillion in mineral wealth is a moral failure the world can no longer ignore.

The Ebola crisis in Congo is rooted in centuries of colonial exploitation and Western indifference — the same global demand for cobalt, gold and coltan that powers smartphones is driving deforestation and pushing the virus into human populations. A vaccine would already exist if this disease had struck Western nations first. Cutting foreign aid while profiting from Congo's $24 trillion in mineral wealth is a moral failure the world can no longer ignore.

This outbreak is a full-blown emergency — 1,048 confirmed cases, over 26,000 contacts untraced and a $1.4 billion funding gap that could make this worse than any Ebola outbreak in history. No approved vaccine exists for the Bundibugyo strain, treatment centers are being attacked and the epidemic is spreading faster than any previous outbreak. The international community must fully resource this response now or face catastrophic consequences.

The international community has already mobilized funding, medical teams, surveillance and humanitarian assistance, but the scale of this outbreak demands an even stronger response. More than 1,000 confirmed cases, no approved vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain and attacks on treatment facilities are stretching response efforts to the limit. Sustained international support and additional resources will be essential to contain the outbreak.

There is a 7.8% chance that a case of Bundibugyo Ebola disease will be first confirmed in the U.S. before 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
