The only airport providing humanitarian organisations with access to the epicentre of an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo reopened on June 2, 2026, as the reported number of suspected cases declined. The country of 100 million people declared on May 15 that it was battling a major outbreak of the highly contagious haemorrhagic fever, prompting the World Health Organization to issue an international health alert.
