Red Cross volunteers wearing personal protective equipment remove the body of an Ebola virus disease victim from the morgue of the Rwampara health centre, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of Congo, on June 8, 2026 before placing it in a body bag and loading it into a vehicle for the transfer to a cemetery as part of the safe and dignified burial operations aimed at preventing the spread of the virus. The head of the World Health Organization visited Uganda on Monday and praised its efforts to limit the spread of an Ebola outbreak from neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo. The WHO has declared an international health emergency over the outbreak which has caused 515 confirmed infections in the DRC, including 91 deaths, since it was announced on May 15 in northeastern DRC. Uganda has recorded 19 cases and two deaths. All but five have been Congolese nationals who crossed the border. (Photo by Jospin Mwisha / AFP)
