2026年5月，剛果民主共和國（DRC）面臨一場新的健康危機，因伊波拉疫情在伊圖里省獲得證實。
In May 2026, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) faced a new health crisis as an Ebola outbreak was confirmed in Ituri Province.
世界衛生組織隨後正式宣布此疫情為「國際關注的公共衛生緊急事件」。
The World Health Organization officially declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern shortly after.
該病毒迅速蔓延，從伊圖里擴散至北基伍省和南基伍省，甚至波及烏干達的跨界地區。
The virus has spread rapidly, moving from Ituri into North and South Kivu, and has even reached cross-border areas in Uganda.
專家指出，擠滿流離失所者的營地內，成千上萬的人面臨極高風險，而區域衝突及武裝團體的存在，嚴重阻礙了人道救援行動。
Experts report that thousands of people in overcrowded displacement camps are at high risk, while regional conflict and the presence of armed groups severely hinder humanitarian aid efforts.
當地有超過120個武裝團體活動，醫護人員面臨巨大危險，且基礎設施依然脆弱。
With over 120 armed groups operating in the area, medical workers face significant dangers, and infrastructure remains fragile.
包括世界衛生組織及非洲疾病管制與預防中心（Africa CDC）在內的國際組織，正致力於協調實驗室支援與治療中心。
International organizations, including the WHO and Africa CDC, are working to coordinate laboratory support and treatment centers.
然而，在沒有疫苗的情況下，防疫完全依賴接觸者追蹤與隔離等傳統方法。
However, without a vaccine, containment relies entirely on traditional methods like contact tracing and isolation.
這是剛果民主共和國第17次錄得的伊波拉疫情，凸顯了該地區的極度脆弱性，當地醫療系統本身已在嚴重資金不足及多重健康危機中苦苦掙扎。
This 17th recorded Ebola outbreak in the DRC highlights the extreme vulnerability of the region, where health systems are already struggling with severe underfunding and overlapping health crises.
