Humanitarian teams working on the Ebola response in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are calling for urgent access to the region after fighting drove thousands of people from a displacement camp there, United Nations News reported on September 28, 2026.
The camp is in eastern DRC. UN News described the Ebola situation as a humanitarian emergency, with aid workers raising alarms about active fighting that has complicated their operations in the area.
Calls for immediate humanitarian access to the affected zone are growing, UN News said. The agency characterized eastern DRC as a vast, resource-rich region, and said the combination of ongoing violence and the outbreak has created acute pressure on response teams.
