On 4 September 2025, the Democratic Republic of the Congo declared an Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, according to afro.who.int. The latest Ebola outbreak in the country has killed over 100 people, involved the Bundibugyo strain, and has no widely approved vaccine for that strain, reported by bluesky. The outbreak affects Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu provinces, also noted by bluesky.

Bunia is on the front line of Congo’s Ebola outbreak, as reported by aljazeera, where Catherine Wambua‑Soi reports from Bunia about the Ebola response, according to the same outlet. On the outskirts of Bunia, Kigonze camp serves as a displacement camp in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to allafrica. The camp houses more than 25,000 people, reported by the New York Times, and a church member distributes food to displaced people at the camp, also noted by the New York Times.

Rumors and disinformation are hindering efforts to contain Ebola in Congo, according to dw, which also stated that disinformation in Congo is worsening the Ebola epidemic. In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, fear is spreading faster than information during the Ebola outbreak, reported by NPR, and hospitals are being used for urgent containment rather than care, also noted by NPR.
