Recent militia massacres kill over 200 in Eastern Congo: More than 200 civilians were killed and hundreds more wounded, kidnapped, or forced into hiding between April and June across North Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to rights group BADILIKA, with M23 and ADF fighters primarily responsible for the death toll.

The report also accuses other armed forces, including pro-government Wazalendo militias, of abductions, forced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and widespread looting.

M23, which has received backing from Rwanda, has seized large parts of mineral-rich eastern Congo, a major source of coltan and cobalt used in phones and electric vehicles.

DR Congo Ebola outbreak claims 400+ lives as virus jumps 600 km

## Ebola’s Deadly March: Death Toll Tops 400 as the Virus Leaps 600 km from Its Origin The Democratic Republic of Congo’s latest Ebola outbreak has surged beyond the confines of its original hotspot. According to the World Health Organization’s most recent briefing, the death count has risen to more than 400, and the pathogen has been confirmed in a town roughly 600 km from the initial epicenter in North Kivu. Health officials warn that the spread into remote regions threatens to outpace containment efforts and could spark a broader regional health crisis. ### Key Takeaways - **Fatalities exceed 400:** WHO reports a sharp increase in deaths since the outbreak’s declaration. - **Geographic expansion:** The virus has been detected approximately 600 km from the original epicenter, indicating a significant breach of containment zones. - **New index case in a remote town:** Health authorities in North Kivu have identified the first patient in a previously unaffected locality, underscoring the virus’s reach into isolated communities. - **Regional alarm:** Neighboring provinces and countries are heightening surveillance and preparedness measures in response to the expanding threat. - **WHO mobilization:** The agency is scaling up emergency response, deploying additional personnel, and accelerating vaccine distribution to curb further transmission. #Ebola #DRC #Outbreak #PublicHealth #WHO #NorthKivu #VirusSpread #EpidemicResponse #GlobalHealth #newsababil360 [Read Full Article](https://news.ababil360.com/dr-congo-ebola-outbreak-claims-400-lives-as-virus-jumps-600-km/)
