12 outletsThis is the 23rd official situation update for the ongoing multi-country Ebola outbreak in DR Congo caused by the Bundibugyo virus, posted on . It is an operational report of the current case and death figures, geographic spread, and response activities in an outbreak that earlier coverage indicates has killed over 4,000 people and reached at least five countries, including Nigeria. Bundibugyo virus is one of the distinct species of ebolavirus that cause Ebola disease in humans.
As a primary-source situation report, this update is the official record of the response as published by the responsible authorities and circulated by ReliefWeb, so it is authoritative for the numbers and response status it reports at the time of publication. The headline itself contains no figures, so nothing further can be validated from it alone.
Genuinely new: this is the latest update in an ongoing 2026 outbreak, not resurfaced or older material.
We have tracked this outbreak through the year: in August 2026 we covered the response when situation report #13 was published; in September 2026 WHO confirmed it as a Bundibugyo-virus outbreak in the DRC; and in October 2026 we reported that the outbreak had killed over 4,000 people and spread to a fifth country, Nigeria.
