Kenya has confirmed its first imported case of Bundibugyo virus disease, prompting WHO support for control measures. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Bundibugyo virus outbreak has resulted in over 8,400 confirmed cases and more than 4,000 confirmed deaths. Violence in Ituri province has intensified, disrupting humanitarian operations and impeding efforts to combat the virus.

The escalating violence in Ituri directly obstructs humanitarian access, preventing aid from reaching affected populations. This also hampers the ongoing response to the Bundibugyo virus disease, potentially leading to further spread and increased mortality.

People in Ituri are being cut off from essential aid due to the violence. The country is also grappling with a significant number of internally displaced persons, exceeding one million, in addition to a substantial refugee population.

The specific impact of the violence in Ituri on displacement figures or the number of people deprived of aid is not detailed in the provided reports.
