Ebola continues to spread through eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with the outbreak centred on densely populated areas such as Rwampara, near the provincial capital Bunia.
At least 15 cases have been confirmed at the local treatment centre, with seven more awaiting results, and deaths occurring almost daily.
Health workers face acute shortages of protective equipment, medicines and test kits, while also contending with community hostility — including arson attacks on treatment facilities.
Staff can work inside for no more than an hour at a time due to the extreme heat of their protective gear.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi reports from Rwampara, Democratic Republic of Congo.

For years, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has accused Rwanda of direct involvement in the war in its eastern provinces.
The DRC says its neighbour has mobilised forces and backed armed groups to carry out illegal operations in its territory.
This week, Kinshasa has moved to hold Kigali accountable, filing a case with the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The DRC is seeking to force Rwanda to cease those activities and award reparations.
Tensions are still high and some countries outside the region are trying to help end the conflict.
Could the involvement of the ICJ make a difference ?

An Iranian academic says a lack of trust could lead to the collapse of the negotiations between the US and Iran before the end of the 60-day “ceasefire” period.
Mostafa Khoshcheshm, professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Tehran, said he doubts there will be a deal at all because “it is clear that the [US] just wanted to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, nothing beyond that”.
Khoshcheshm says Iranian negotiators are wary about whether the US will keep up its end of the bargain, given past experience. “We’ve been in talks with them, and the result was the JCPOA, but Donald Trump tore it apart. We were in talks with them last year twice, and they bombed the negotiating table.”
He questioned the conduct of US President Trump. “Threatening Iranians very much and very badly, saying that he will obliterate Iran”, is not building trust, he said.
“As a matter of fact, top Iranian officials and negotiators have always stressed that they are in talks with the US with total distrust of the United States,” Khoshcheshm said.
The US has violated the ceasefire repeatedly, and it will be “very hard work, if not impossible”, to build Iranians’ confidence in negotiations, he added.

Al Jazeera's special coverage, "Gaza: Promises and Reality," examines the gap between what was promised when the US-brokered ceasefire began and the reality Palestinians face today. Over five days, the coverage explores how Israel's genocide in Gaza – which has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians, including at least 20,000 children – continues to reshape the territory and its people.
Day one of the special focuses on Israel's expanding military control. What was once the "Yellow Line" – a boundary indicating where troops would withdraw to – has extended deeper into Gaza. The UN now calls the new boundary the "Orange Line," covering an additional 11% of the territory. Israel now holds nearly 65% of Gaza, leaving just 36% of the land for more than two million people. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to expand its control to 70%.
A displaced father, Saad Yaseen, said he fled eastern Gaza because of constant shelling despite being told he was not within the Yellow Line. A mother whose son went to check on the family home inside the Orange Zone said: "This yellow line separated me from my son. I can't go see him. I want to know if he is alive or dead." Human rights activist Alaa Skafi warned that Israel's seizure of more than two-thirds of Gaza is part of a "systematic methodological policy" of genocide, aimed at ending all forms of life and potentially setting up illegal settlements.
The coverage also traces Gaza's history – from ancient civilizations and imperial conquests to mass displacement and modern war. For Palestinians, it remains homeland where generations of their ancestors have lived for thousands of years.

The war on Iran is “probably the true bookend to that idea that America can't be beat”, argues Robert Pape, professor of political science at the University of Chicago.
Pape tells host Steve Clemons that the US is now trying to “squeak out” of the stipulations of the deal signed with Iran.
That deal turns Israel into “an isolated nuclear Sparta ... and more of a garrison state than it is today”, says Pape.
Like Iran, Ukraine is deftly using drones to its advantage, Pape adds, and Russia should cut a deal soon because “it will just get worse and worse”.

Israel continues to violate the Gaza ceasefire brokered by the US last October, killing more than 1,000 Palestinians including at least 265 children. A recent attack on Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp killed Al Jazeera journalist Ahmed Wishah. He is one of more than 200 Palestinian journalists - and the 12th Al Jazeera journalist - to be killed by Israel since October 7, 2023.
Has Western media helped normalise Israel’s violence against Palestinians? And how has US corporate and legacy media coverage of the genocide in Gaza over the last two and a half years shaped public attitudes and political decisions? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks to journalist Adam Johnson, author of the new book “How to Sell a Genocide”.

Israel has expanded its military zone in Gaza, with the UN-designated "Orange Line" now covering an additional 11 percent of the territory. In total, Israeli restrictions apply to approximately 64 percent of the Strip, leaving just 36 percent for more than two million people. The UN says the expanded boundary is hampering already limited aid operations and forcing further displacement. Authorities in Gaza report ongoing civilian casualties near the zone, which carries no visible warnings or markings.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a press conference in Baghdad following meetings with his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein. He thanked the Iraqi government and people for their support during the war and congratulated the new Iraqi government. He said the visit also covered final preparations for the funeral processions of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to be held in Najaf and Karbala in early July.
On the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi reiterated that the waterway "remains under the total oversight and management of Iran" for the next 30 days under the MoU, and that no other party should interfere. He warned that any unilateral action would "exacerbate the situation" and delay the reopening of the strait. He also said the US must ensure Israel ceases its attacks on Lebanon and withdraws from occupied territories, calling this "item one" of the MoU.
Araghchi condemned continued US strikes on Iranian military and port facilities, saying they violate the MoU. Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein offered to mediate between the GCC countries, Iran and Iraq to defuse regional tensions and restore stability. Araghchi welcomed the proposal. For Iraq, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has had a severe economic impact, as the country relies on oil revenues for more than 95% of its national income.

Qatar has established an air bridge to deliver emergency aid to Venezuela following a major earthquake. A Qatari search and rescue team has arrived at Caracas's main international airport carrying tents, medical supplies and specialised canine units trained to locate survivors in urban rubble. With the critical 72-hour window for finding survivors already passed, rescuers warn the operation may shift from search and rescue to search and recovery.

Hong Kong has expanded its traditional Dragon Boat races into a 13-day cultural and sporting festival, as authorities look for new ways to attract tourists and increase visitor spending.
This year’s event brings together around 4,500 participants across 220 teams from 16 countries and regions, alongside food markets, cultural performances, and tourism promotions across the city.
Despite rising visitor arrivals, numbers remain below pre-pandemic levels, and spending—particularly by mainland Chinese tourists, who make up the majority of visitors—has declined amid economic pressures and a stronger Hong Kong dollar.
Organisers hope that combining sport, culture, and retail incentives will encourage visitors to stay longer and spend more, helping support a tourism sector that underpins hundreds of thousands of jobs.
But with regional competition increasing and consumer habits shifting, questions remain over whether large-scale cultural events alone can restore the city’s former tourism momentum.

In Caracas, survivors of the earthquake continue to pick through destroyed neighbourhoods, searching for what remains of their homes and belongings.
For many, entire lives have been erased in seconds, leaving families dependent on relatives, volunteers, and overcrowded shelters for survival.
Temporary camps across the city are now filled with displaced residents sleeping in tents, with limited access to food, water, and basic services. Many say they are too afraid to return to damaged buildings still deemed unsafe.
Hospitals in affected regions are also under intense pressure, receiving a steady flow of injured patients from the hardest-hit coastal areas. Medical teams and volunteers are working around the clock to manage admissions and distribute supplies.
Authorities say rescue and recovery operations remain ongoing, but with thousands still missing and widespread destruction, the humanitarian crisis is far from over.
