Friday briefing: What do the cuts in aid mean for the fight against Ebola in the DRC?
Ebola spreads in DRC’s Ituri province (and to Uganda, Romania) as US/UK-led aid cuts cripple response infrastructure. Health workers (Dr. Lame, Victor) warn of a prolonged crisis in the conflict-ridden, overcrowded region. WHO’s Tedros declares a public health emergency; Oxford develops a vaccine, but US travel bans, Trump’s Kenya quarantine center, and political aid cuts (Trump/Musk’s USAID gutting) hamper efforts. Community mistrust (arson, burial disputes) and PPE shortages complicate containment, while experts criticize UK’s net zero reversal.
