On 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.
\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.On 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

A major flash flood struck Rasuwa district after a sudden and intense surge in the Bhote Koshi River at approximately 9:15 AM. The flood rapidly impacted the Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi areas, causing significant damage to settlements, markets, police infrastructure, roads, and hydropower facilities. Authorities have warned that rising water levels could affect downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.
\r\nCurrent Situation
\r\nThe flood is suspected to have originated from a high-altitude outburst upstream in Tibet, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
\r\nWater levels reportedly rose dramatically, with flood waves estimated at 8-10 meters in some locations.
\r\nAuthorities have reported severe initial damage in:
\r\nTimure Market
\r\nTimure Customs Office
\r\nRasuwagadhi area
\r\nSyabrubesi settlement
\r\nMultiple hydropower projects, including damage to the Chilime Hydropower Project
\r\nThree Nepal Police facilities: Timure Area Police Office, Rasuwagadhi Police Post, and Syabrubesi Police Post
\r\nInitial reports indicate that 30-40 drivers may be missing, although verification is ongoing. Extent of causaulities and missing persons remain unclear.
\r\nAreas at Risk
\r\nHigh-alert warnings have been issued for communities located along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, particularly in: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan.
\r\nResidents living along riverbanks have been advised to move to safer locations and remain vigilant until further notice.
\r\nTransport and Access
\r\nTravel has been discouraged on: Prithvi Highway, Galchhi-Nuwakot-Rasuwa-Syabrubesi Road, Muglin-Narayangadh Road, Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police have reportedly halted vehicles heading toward Rasuwa and other affected districts.
\r\nPeople working, fishing, or conducting activities near the Trishuli River have been ordered to leave the river corridor immediately. Initial data are not available due to communication cut off in affected areas, will be updated in next field report.

\r\nAccording to the National Committee for the Regional Study of the El Niño Phenomenon (CN-ERFEN), as of October 1, 2026, the El Niño phenomenon remains active and strengthened, with persistent warming of the Pacific Ocean off Ecuador, favoring above-normal rainfall conditions on the Coast and a greater probability of floods and overflows, mainly in sectors of the center and north of the country. For the month of October, the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (INAMHI) forecasts the continuity of rainfall of variable intensity, with occasionally strong events, storms and gusts of wind, mainly in sectors of the Littoral and the foothills of the western mountain range. The provinces of Esmeraldas, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Manabí, Los Ríos and Guayas remain among the areas with the highest presence of rainfall, with the possibility of floods, accumulation of water, floods and overflows of water bodies and mass movements.
\nESMERALDAS: From September 15 to October 5, 2026, 53 adverse events have been recorded in seven cantons, mainly floods and landslides, with approximately 9,740 people affected. The highest incidences are concentrated in Muisne, Eloy Alfaro, Esmeraldas and Quinindé, where the increase in flows caused overflows and flooding in communities and homes. Damage to roads and crops is also recorded.
\nGuayas: The province registers approximately 2,211 people affected by events associated with the rains. The main emergencies were concentrated in Balao, Jujan, Naranjito, Guayaquil, Durán, El Triunfo, Marcelino Maridueña, Salitre, Daule, Yaguachi and Simón Bolívar, where floods, river overflows, flooding and damage to homes and roads, increased flows and saturation of drainage were reported. Among the outstanding events are the overflow of the Amarillo, El Chorrón and Gala rivers, with effects on sectors and families. Monitoring and damage assessment continues.
\nSANTO DOMINGO DE LOS TSÁCHILAS: In the canton of La Concordia, heavy rains were reported in sectors such as Las Vegas, San Pablo 2, San Carlos, San Luis and La Nueva Concordia, where families required attention and humanitarian assistance. Approximately 250 people have been affected.
\nLOS RÍOS: The province registers approximately 1,385 people affected by events associated with the rains. The main effects are concentrated in Babahoyo, Urdaneta, Montalvo, Baba, Mocache, Palenque, Puebloviejo and Buena Fe, where intense rainfall and increased flows have generated floods, river overflows affecting homes and extensive agricultural areas. Rice, corn and soybean crops are among the most affected, in addition to damage from windstorms, mainly in Buena Fe.
\nIt should be noted that the detailed data are preliminary and correspond to the initial phase of the manifestation of ENSO in Ecuador. In this context, and based on the technical and scientific knowledge provided by specialized institutions, the Ecuadorian Red Cross has developed an Imminent DREF.

\r\nThe escalation of hostilities in Yemen continues to drive population displacement, particularly in Taiz and along the western coast. Repeated displacement is increasing pressure on host communities and already strained essential services, including healthcare, food, water and shelter.
\r\nAccording to IOM Yemen DTM (reporting period 25–31 October 2026), 319,356 individuals were recorded as displaced between 1 January and 31 October 2026, including 299,335 displaced during the period 1 August–21 October.
\r\nHumanitarian needs remain significant, with displaced and conflict-affected communities facing difficulties accessing essential services and assistance. Insecurity, movement restrictions, road closures and telecommunications disruptions continue to constrain humanitarian access, assessments and operational response.
\r\nThe Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS), supported by IFRC and Movement partners, continues to provide emergency health services, ambulance transportation, food and household assistance, and cash support to affected and displaced communities.

On 24 June 2026, two strong earthquakes, preliminarily measured at magnitudes 7.1 and 7.5, struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, with epicentres near Morón, Carabobo State. The earthquakes were felt across much of the country, including Caracas, La Guaira, Aragua, Carabobo and neighbouring states. Therefore, the national goverment of Venezuela declared the state of emergency.
\r\nPreliminary information indicates damage to residential and commercial buildings, with reports of structural collapses in parts of Caracas and damage to infrastructure in several affected areas. Search and rescue operations have been activated while authorities continue rapid damage assessments. Power and telecommunications interruptions have been reported in some locations, and hospitals are receiving injured people.
\r\nThe full humanitarian impact is still being assessed. Official information on casualties, displaced people and infrastructure damage remains limited. Significant aftershocks are expected, posing additional risks to affected communities and emergency responders. In addition, the National Headquarters of the Venezuelan Red Cross reported critical damage in the infrastructure.
\r\nCritical damage has also been reported to essential social infrastructure, including the airport and hospitals, while public services are intermittent or completely disrupted.

A major flash flood struck Rasuwa district after a sudden and intense surge in the Bhote Koshi River at approximately 9:15 AM. The flood rapidly impacted the Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi areas, causing significant damage to settlements, markets, police infrastructure, roads, and hydropower facilities. Authorities have warned that rising water levels could affect downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.
\r\nCurrent Situation
\r\nThe flood is suspected to have originated from a high-altitude outburst upstream in Tibet, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
\r\nWater levels reportedly rose dramatically, with flood waves estimated at 8-10 meters in some locations.
\r\nAuthorities have reported severe initial damage in:
\r\nTimure Market
\r\nTimure Customs Office
\r\nRasuwagadhi area
\r\nSyabrubesi settlement
\r\nMultiple hydropower projects, including damage to the Chilime Hydropower Project
\r\nThree Nepal Police facilities: Timure Area Police Office, Rasuwagadhi Police Post, and Syabrubesi Police Post
\r\nInitial reports indicate that 30-40 drivers may be missing, although verification is ongoing. Extent of causaulities and missing persons remain unclear.
\r\nAreas at Risk
\r\nHigh-alert warnings have been issued for communities located along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, particularly in: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan.
\r\nResidents living along riverbanks have been advised to move to safer locations and remain vigilant until further notice.
\r\nTransport and Access
\r\nTravel has been discouraged on: Prithvi Highway, Galchhi-Nuwakot-Rasuwa-Syabrubesi Road, Muglin-Narayangadh Road, Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police have reportedly halted vehicles heading toward Rasuwa and other affected districts.
\r\nPeople working, fishing, or conducting activities near the Trishuli River have been ordered to leave the river corridor immediately. Initial data are not available due to communication cut off in affected areas, will be updated in next field report.

\r\nOn 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.

\r\nUpdate: 30 October 2026
\r\nThe escalation of hostilities in Yemen continues to drive population displacement, particularly in Taiz and along the western coast. Repeated displacement is increasing pressure on host communities and already strained essential services, including healthcare, food, water and shelter.
\r\nAccording to IOM Yemen DTM (reporting period 25–31 October 2026), 319,356 individuals were recorded as displaced between 1 January and 31 October 2026, including 299,335 displaced during the period 1 August–21 October.
\r\nHumanitarian needs remain significant, with displaced and conflict-affected communities facing difficulties accessing essential services and assistance. Insecurity, movement restrictions, road closures and telecommunications disruptions continue to constrain humanitarian access, assessments and operational response.
\r\nThe Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS), supported by IFRC and Movement partners, continues to provide emergency health services, ambulance transportation, food and household assistance, and cash support to affected and displaced communities.
\r\nThe humanitarian situation remains volatile, with continued displacement and operational challenges affecting humanitarian access and service delivery.
\r\nYRCS continues its emergency response through 22 branches and a 24/7 Emergency Operations Centre, providing emergency ambulance services, first aid, medical transportation and essential relief assistance.
\r\nAs of 28 October 2026, YRCS reported the following cumulative response figures:
\r\n2,207 food parcels distributed across affected governorates, with an additional 2,000 food parcels distributed in Al Bayda.
\r\n1,722 non-food item (NFI) packages distributed, including 300 in Lahj, 124 in Taiz and 1,298 across other governorates.
\r\n1,950 displaced households assisted with cash in Lahj.
\r\n5,431 households targeted for cash assistance and 5,150 households verified by YRCS teams.
\r\nFour mobile health units deployed, with YRCS paramedics also supporting Marib General Hospital.
\r\nDespite ongoing access constraints, YRCS teams continue their humanitarian response, needs identification and assistance to affected communities. Continued monitoring, coordination and updated assessments remain essential to adapt the response to evolving needs.

\r\nAccording to information from the Colombian Geological Service (SGC), an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.4 was recorded on Monday, August 10, 2026, in the morning, with its epicenter in the town of San José del Palmar, in the department of Chocó, located on the Colombian Pacific coast, at a depth of 96 kilometers.
\r\nAlthough the epicenter was in the department of Chocó, direct impacts were also felt in the departments of Caldas, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca. Media reports are already noting injuries, deaths, and missing persons, as well as the collapse of infrastructure.

On 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.
\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.Since 10 September 2026, the Obock region has been experiencing a significant influx of people arriving from Yemen, amid a deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the country. According to estimates shared by ONARS, approximately 1,600 Yemeni refugees, mainly women and children, have arrived in the Obock region to date.
\r\nSome individuals are reported to have been rescued at sea by the Djiboutian authorities after their boats ran out of fuel. The main arrival points identified are Obock Port, as well as the coastal areas of Khor Angar, Moulhoul and Siâm, where groups of refugees have reportedly landed and are currently awaiting arrangements for their transfer to Obock town.

The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC.

A major flash flood struck Rasuwa district after a sudden and intense surge in the Bhote Koshi River at approximately 9:15 AM. The flood rapidly impacted the Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi areas, causing significant damage to settlements, markets, police infrastructure, roads, and hydropower facilities. Authorities have warned that rising water levels could affect downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.
\r\nCurrent Situation
\r\nThe flood is suspected to have originated from a high-altitude outburst upstream in Tibet, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
\r\nWater levels reportedly rose dramatically, with flood waves estimated at 8-10 meters in some locations.
\r\nAuthorities have reported severe initial damage in:
\r\nTimure Market
\r\nTimure Customs Office
\r\nRasuwagadhi area
\r\nSyabrubesi settlement
\r\nMultiple hydropower projects, including damage to the Chilime Hydropower Project
\r\nThree Nepal Police facilities: Timure Area Police Office, Rasuwagadhi Police Post, and Syabrubesi Police Post
\r\nInitial reports indicate that 30-40 drivers may be missing, although verification is ongoing. Extent of causaulities and missing persons remain unclear.
\r\nAreas at Risk
\r\nHigh-alert warnings have been issued for communities located along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, particularly in: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan.
\r\nResidents living along riverbanks have been advised to move to safer locations and remain vigilant until further notice.
\r\nTransport and Access
\r\nTravel has been discouraged on: Prithvi Highway, Galchhi-Nuwakot-Rasuwa-Syabrubesi Road, Muglin-Narayangadh Road, Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police have reportedly halted vehicles heading toward Rasuwa and other affected districts.
\r\nPeople working, fishing, or conducting activities near the Trishuli River have been ordered to leave the river corridor immediately. Initial data are not available due to communication cut off in affected areas, will be updated in next field report.
\r\nAccording to information from the Colombian Geological Service (SGC), an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.4 was recorded on Monday, August 10, 2026, in the morning, with its epicenter in the town of San José del Palmar, in the department of Chocó, located on the Colombian Pacific coast, at a depth of 96 kilometers.
\r\nAlthough the epicenter was in the department of Chocó, direct impacts were also felt in the departments of Caldas, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca. Media reports are already noting injuries, deaths, and missing persons, as well as the collapse of infrastructure.

On 24 June 2026, two strong earthquakes, preliminarily measured at magnitudes 7.1 and 7.5, struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, with epicentres near Morón, Carabobo State. The earthquakes were felt across much of the country, including Caracas, La Guaira, Aragua, Carabobo and neighbouring states. Therefore, the national goverment of Venezuela declared the state of emergency.
\r\nPreliminary information indicates damage to residential and commercial buildings, with reports of structural collapses in parts of Caracas and damage to infrastructure in several affected areas. Search and rescue operations have been activated while authorities continue rapid damage assessments. Power and telecommunications interruptions have been reported in some locations, and hospitals are receiving injured people.
\r\nThe full humanitarian impact is still being assessed. Official information on casualties, displaced people and infrastructure damage remains limited. Significant aftershocks are expected, posing additional risks to affected communities and emergency responders. In addition, the National Headquarters of the Venezuelan Red Cross reported critical damage in the infrastructure.
\r\nCritical damage has also been reported to essential social infrastructure, including the airport and hospitals, while public services are intermittent or completely disrupted.

\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.During the afternoon of Sunday, August 16, 2026, the National Civil Protection System (SINAPROC) declared a Green Alert for rain, storms and gusts of wind, starting at 6:00 p.m., for sectors of the province of Bocas del Toro, the Ngäbe-Buglé Region and the Naso Tjër Di Region.
\nThe measure is based on the technical-scientific analysis of the Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology of Panama (IMHPA), which maintains a favorable scenario for rains of varying intensity, some accompanied by thunderstorms and gusts of wind.
\nThe expected conditions could generate rapid increases in the flows of rivers and streams, floods in vulnerable sectors and landslides, so the need for permanent surveillance and monitoring of conditions in the territory remains.
\nIn addition, the Ministry of Education reported the suspension of classes for Monday, August 17, 2026 throughout the province of Bocas del Toro, as a preventive measure in the face of weather conditions and the intense rains recorded.
\nLikewise, the suspension of classes in 172 educational centers in the Nö Kribo region, corresponding to school zones No. 1 to No. 18 of the Ngäbe-Buglé region, was reported.
\nAccording to the official information available, a scenario of rainfall of varying intensity is maintained, with the possibility of:
\nThe combination of persistent rainfall, soil saturation and increased flows increases the possibility of localized damage, particularly in communities near rivers and streams, low-lying areas, areas with a history of flooding and sectors susceptible to mass movements.
\nBocas del Toro Province:
\nNgäbe-Buglé Region:
\nNaso Tjër Di Region.
\nAs a preventive measure, the Ministry of Education determined:
\nThe decision seeks to reduce the exposure of students, teachers and administrative staff to possible mobility difficulties and unsafe conditions derived from intense rains, flooding of rivers and streams, soil saturation, high tides and strong winds.
\nIn the operational sphere, the Changuinola Committee of the Panamanian Red Cross maintains presence and support in the evacuation actions of the communities of Puente Blanco, accompanying the processes of preventive mobilization of the population in the face of the existing conditions.
\nLikewise, the Changuinola Committee maintains a presence in the Provincial Emergency Operations Center (COE) of Bocas del Toro, participating in the spaces for coordination and monitoring of the situation, in coordination with the institutions that make up the response system.
\nConditions are reported that have required preventive evacuation actions in vulnerable sectors, particularly in the communities of Puente Blanco, where the Changuinola Committee continues to support the evacuation work.
\nAt the time of the cut-off of this report, there is still no updated quantitative consolidation of evacuees, affected homes, isolated communities, damage to infrastructure, displacement or humanitarian needs.
\nThe available information continues to be verified and consolidated through territorial monitoring and coordination with the actors present in the area.
\nIt is recommended that subsequent reports make it possible to differentiate between:
\nSince the afternoon of August 16, Risk Management has maintained communication and monitoring of possible effects, following up on the evolution of weather conditions and the information generated from the territories.
\nThe Changuinola Committee maintains an operational presence in the Provincial COE of Bocas del Toro, strengthening institutional coordination, the exchange of information and the monitoring of the actions developed in the face of the situation.
\nSimilarly, the Committee maintains support in the territory for evacuation actions in the communities of Puente Blanco, prioritizing the safety of exposed persons and facilitating coordination with the authorities and other actors involved in the process.
\nIt is recommended to maintain permanent communication with local committees and territorial liaisons to facilitate the timely flow of information to the corresponding coordination levels.
\nThe priority during this period should focus on identifying in a timely manner any change in risk conditions, especially in the face of increases in flows, floods, landslides, road interruptions and effects on vulnerable communities.
