US allocates extra US$80mil to tackle Ebola

Workers from the Uganda Red Cross Society don protective suits as they prepare to evacuate the body of a suspected Ebola victim in Kampala on May 26, 2026. The organisation is poised to assist the Ministry of Health in transporting suspected cases to treatment centres and conducting safe, dignified burials following confirmed positive results. This action comes after the confirmation of three additional Ebola Bundibugyo cases , raising the total to five linked to travelers from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where an outbreak has claimed 119 lives among 904 suspected cases. The World Health Organisation has classified this outbreak in both the DRC and Uganda as a public health emergency of international concern. — The funds will pay for protective equipment for healthcare workers, regional border screening, test kits and other needs.

WASHINGTON: The United States announced Thursday that it was allocating an additional US$80 million to help combat the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

The Trump administration has faced criticism from the Democratic Party and NGOs over its response to the crisis, which comes after the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the dismantling of the USAID aid agency.

With the new funding, total US aid amounts to US$112 million since the outbreak began, the State Department said in a press release.

“The US government continues a comprehensive and coordinated response to contain the Ebola outbreak at its source to protect the American people and prevent further international spread,” it added.

The funds will pay for protective equipment for healthcare workers, regional border screening, test kits and other needs.

Secretary of state Marco Rubio vowed on Wednesday to keep Ebola out of the US.

The WHO has recorded 10 confirmed and 223 suspected Ebola deaths in the DR Congo since the outbreak was declared on May 15, out of more than 1,000 confirmed and suspected cases.

The true size of the outbreak is likely much wider.
