The outbreak is believed to have originated in a rural area, but it has spread to cities including Bunia and Goma. Neighboring Uganda has also recorded seven confirmed cases as well as two deaths.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            WHO on Friday raised the risk level to \u201cvery high\u201d in DRC and \u201chigh\u201d on the regional level, although it says epidemic risk remains low on a global level. Ebola case numbers are expected to \u201ckeep increasing, given the amount of time the virus was circulating before the outbreak was detected,\u201d the organization has warned.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThose who doubt are perhaps those who haven\u2019t experienced this (death) yet or whose families haven\u2019t been affected yet,\u201d added Ilunga, who set up a washbasin at home to protect his own family. He\u2019s been urging others to stop doubting the reality of the threat the virus poses.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Tensions flared on Sunday evening when a group of young men stormed a hospital treating Ebola patients in Ituri Province, forcing the medical staff at Mongbwalu General Hospital to scramble to evacuate the patients as gunfire rang out, the Associated Press reported. The hospital\u2019s medical director said attackers demanded the bodies of two relatives be handed over to them.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It marked the third such attack on healthcare facilities treating Ebola patients within the last week. On Thursday in Ituri, relatives of a young man who died of Ebola tried to take his body \u201cby force\u201d from the Rwampara Hospital, a local politician told CNN. Protesters caused a blaze at that health facility, burning down two hospital tents, officials said. On Saturday, a group of residents of Mongbwalu set fire to a tent set up by Doctors Without Borders that was treating possible and confirmed Ebola cases.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Local authorities in Ituri announced restrictions on public gatherings and banned wakes on Friday.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Health officials have raised alarm that traditional funerals and mourning practices can rapidly spread the virus, as the corpses of Ebola victims are highly infectious. A community mobilizer based in Bunia previously told CNN that a local funeral custom involving mourners touching the deceased may have contributed to the rise of infections.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Workers disinfect their equipment at General Referral Hospital of Mongbwalu in Ituri province, in the eastern DRC, on Wednesday, after the Ebola disease tore through communities there.\" class=\"wp-image-33\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2cf9abd6f1bca8847804de8e4323a0d2.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2cf9abd6f1bca8847804de8e4323a0d2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2cf9abd6f1bca8847804de8e4323a0d2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Workers disinfect their equipment at General Referral Hospital of Mongbwalu in Ituri province, in the eastern DRC, on Wednesday, after the Ebola disease tore through communities there.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Michel Lunanga\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cBuilding trust in the affected communities is critical to a successful response, and is one of our highest priorities,\u201d WHO\u2019s Tedros said Friday after the hospital fire. \u201cWe are also committed to ensuring that essential services for the affected communities are maintained and strengthened.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Beyond fear and doubt, there are multiple factors hugely complicating the emergency response \u2013 the area is in a conflict zone and an estimated two million people are displaced. Eastern DRC has historically underfunded healthcare infrastructure. And the strain of the virus driving the outbreak has no approved vaccine or treatment.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Aid workers have also told CNN that the dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and US funding cuts carried out prior to the outbreak have impeded the response. However, a State Department official denied the claims and said none of the Trump administration\u2019s changes have hampered its efforts.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=26\">Mullin\u2019s first two months at DHS: deportations, threats against sanctuary cities \u2014 and a lower profile<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Speaking shortly after returning from a humanitarian visit to Ituri Province, Greg Ramm, DRC country director for the organization Save the Children, said their teams are working alongside local authorities to deliver basic supplies like disinfectant and chlorine to clinics.
