Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Situation - Regional External Update #41 - August 2026

Countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS • Despite progress in ongoing mediation efforts to end the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), violence continued to drive displacement and protection risks, with around 1.3 million Congolese refugees and asylum-seekers still hosted in neighbouring countries by end-August. UNHCR continued to call for sustained protection, humanitarian access and support to host communities. • The Ebola outbreak added urgency to the response: transmission in the DRC exceeded 7,200 confirmed cases and nearly 3,500 deaths1 across seven provinces since the outbreak was declared in May 2026. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control declared Uganda Ebola-free after 42 days without a new confirmed case. Continued surveillance, preparedness and community engagement remained essential to protect displaced people and host communities. • Despite the challenges, voluntary returns to the DRC continued, with more than 70,000 Congolese refugees returning from Burundi in 2026 and tripartite frameworks with Tanzania and Zambia supporting principled, phased approaches. UNHCR and its partners continued working to ensure all returns remain voluntary, informed, safe and dignified, backed by reintegration support.
