Since 10 June 2026, #Etna 's tallest summit crater, the Voragine ("big mouth") is producing small Strombolian explosions (ejection of incandescent lava fragments) and ash emissions. Seen here on the evening of 13 June 2026 from northeast. Latest activity here was five months ago.
New Ebola situation report is out (there was none yesterday) and numbers are still rising shockingly fast:
782 confirmed cases now (+72 in the last 24 hours)
That includes 181 confirmed deaths.
Follow-up of contacts is back down to 56,5%. Not good.

One massive hurdle in fighting Ebola in DRC: Ituri has nowhere near the capacity it needs for safe and dignified burials, just 7 of 98 needed ambulances, for instance.
That means higher likelihood of unsafe burials and new infections as well as longer wait and more anger/mistrust in communities.
