A new Ebola outbreak has been declared, with 2026 marking the latest resurgence of the virus. Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) says its teams are deploying to support the response, drawing on its long experience treating Ebola since previous epidemics in West and Central Africa. Health organisations are being urged to move quickly, as Ebola's high fatality rate and rapid transmission make early containment critical to preventing the spread from becoming a wider crisis.

Doctors Without Borders warns that an Ebola outbreak is spreading like wildfire across North Kivu, a conflict-affected province in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The aid organisation is raising the alarm about the pace of transmission in a region where insecurity and displacement make containment efforts especially difficult, and is calling for an urgent response to bring the outbreak under control.
