GOMA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO - JUNE 24: A health worker takes a woman's temperature as part of Ebola screening efforts on June 24, 2026 in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. On Monday, UN agencies announced that Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo had surpassed 1,000. Although testing capacity has recently improved, surveillance and contact tracing remain constrained by insecurity and restricted access in Ituri province, the heart of the current outbreak, north of Goma.
