Médecins Sans Frontières is responding to an active Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo caused by the Bundibugyo virus, which has no approved vaccine or treatment. As of May 19, 2026, authorities reported over 500 suspected cases and more than 130 deaths, with confirmed cases in North Kivu province including the city of Goma, and two confirmed cases across the border in Uganda. The outbreak is complicated by ongoing regional conflict, displacement, and limited diagnostic capacity.

EconomicCrisis🇨🇴Colombia7d ago

Colombia's Air-e electricity distributor, serving 1.3 million customers across three departments, has seen its debt more than double since government intervention 20 months ago, reaching $2.1–3.9 trillion. The company loses over half its purchased energy to illegal connections and unpaid bills, while thermal generators supplying 35% of regional power operate at a loss and face imminent refusal to continue generation. The crisis disproportionately affects low-income populations in the Caribbean region, where 85% of users belong to lower income strata.

Iran's actions have disrupted Hormuz shipping lanes, destabilizing Gulf trade and energy markets. China's pre-built corridor infrastructure and strong industrial capacity position it to gain relative advantage, while Pakistan has begun routing transit through Iran via Chinese-built corridors—a shift that redirects regional trade away from traditional UAE ports and consolidates Beijing's influence over critical supply chains.

The Foreign Investors Council warns that Romania's ongoing political crisis—triggered by the PSD's withdrawal from the governing coalition—threatens economic stability and investor confidence. With 53% of surveyed companies reporting deteriorated legislative predictability and historical FDI sensitivity to policy uncertainty, prolonged instability could reduce annual foreign direct investment inflows from the recent EUR 6-7 billion average, particularly given elevated public debt and regional competitive pressures.

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in Beijing on Tuesday for talks with his Chinese counterpart and his “long-time good friend” Xi Jinping, intending to show their ties are unshakeable days after a visit by Donald Trump. The confirmation of Putin’s trip came just hours after Trump wrapped up his visit on Friday, the first by a US president to China in nearly a decade and one aimed at stabilising their turbulent relations. Putin and Xi are set to discuss how to “further strengthen” Russia and China’s strategic partnership and “exchange views on key international and regional issues”, according to a Kremlin statement.

HealthCrisis🇨🇴Colombia 🇧🇷Brazil 🇦🇺Australia+17d ago

Colombia's pharmaceutical access system is facing a critical slowdown, with the average wait time for patients to access FDA and EMA-approved medicines stretching to 68 months—over five years from international approval to local availability. According to data from IQVIA presented at the 2026 Fifarma Summit, the country's approval and public availability process has deteriorated since 2022, driven primarily by a narrowing bottleneck in INVIMA (the national drug regulator) approvals rather than longer processing times per se, signaling systemic challenges in the country's once-regional healthcare model.

El documento incluye a los siete ediles de MC, los cuatro del PSOE, el de Sí Cartagena y los dos concejales no adscritos Diego Salinas y Beatriz Sánchez del Álamo, exmiembros de Vox La crisis de Vox en Cartagena deja al gobierno del PP en minoría: Salinas se va al grupo de no adscritos Sorpresa no ha habido. La posibilidad de una moción de censura en Cartagena contra la popular Noelia Arroyo venía fraguándose desde enero de 2025, cuando ya se produjo un primer conato. La fractura de Vox en la Región de Murcia le ha dado una mayor viabilidad, ya que Diego Salinas y Beatriz Sánchez del Álamo, los dos exconcejales de la formación ultraderechista que abandonaron el partido tras la defenestración del exlíder regional José Ángel Antelo, han firmado este lunes la moción de censura que, previsiblemente, pondrá fin al gobierno de la alcaldesa popular en la ciudad portuaria.
