Last update: 5 hours agoEbola Preparedness: ECSA-HC has launched a six-month emergency push at 33 border entry points along the DRC border to stop Bundibugyo Ebola spreading to neighbors, including Burundi, with digital surveillance, safe isolation steps, rapid lab transport, and cross-border notifications across major trade and migration corridors. Water Crisis in Bujumbura: Residents in several Bujumbura neighborhoods say drinking water deliveries have become unreliable for weeks, forcing long waits at REGIDESO points and driving up the cost of water transport. Hygiene Risk in Bugendana: In Bugendana (Gitega), the Bitare slaughterhouse has reportedly lacked drinking water for over a year, with butchers relying on an “undrinkable” stream and warning that poor sanitation could fuel disease. Border Controls for Ebola: Ten countries in the region, including Burundi, are stepping up screening and readiness at priority crossings, with drills, referral plans, and stronger infection control and lab preparedness. Polio Update: WHO confirmed the closure of polio type 2 outbreaks in Burundi and four other African countries after assessments found transmission had stopped. Measles Warning: WHO estimates nearly 11 million people could contract measles in 2026, with the biggest risk tied to falling vaccination coverage.
