Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: International Rescue Committee Delayed detection and slow contact tracing suggest virus has likely spread undetected for months Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, June 1, 2026 — The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is likely significantly larger and more advanced than official figures suggest, as response efforts struggle with delayed detection and dangerously low levels of contact tracing, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) warned today. With only 20% of contacts currently being traced, health authorities are struggling to identify and isolate new chains of transmission. The virus may have been spreading undetected since before March, potentially as long as three months before the first official case was identified, allowing multiple chains of transmission to establish across communities and provinces. The combination of these factors dramatically increases the likelihood that the true scale of infections is far higher than reported, the IRC warned. Rachel Howard, Senior Technical Emergency Health advisor at the IRC, said: “The true scale of this Ebola outbreak is likely far worse than official figures suggest. When four out of five contacts are not being traced, it becomes incredibly difficult to contain the outbreak or even understand its true scale. We’re especially concerned about the virus spreading to other countries like Burundi or South Sudan.” IRC teams warn that shortages of diagnostic cartridges and testing backlogs are slowing confirmation of cases, further obscuring the true spread of the outbreak. Seven confirmed Ebola patients have reportedly left treatment centers in the DRC, while more than six healthcare workers have died, including two doctors in recent days. The incidents underscore the deep fear and mistrust some communities continue to have toward Ebola prevention and treatment efforts. People are avoiding health facilities, raising fears that those affected are remaining within communities rather than seeking treatment. As a result, transmission is spreading across multiple areas, and communities are losing trust in the response. Strengthening local, community-based prevention and infection control should be the immediate priority to control the outbreak at the source. Without urgent funding, the situation could deteriorate rapidly. This outbreak is increasingly resembling the 2018–2020 North Kivu Ebola crisis, which infected thousands of people and was complicated by insecurity, population movement, and community resistance. However, unlike previous outbreaks, there is currently no approved vaccine available for this Ebola strain. The IRC is calling for urgent international support to scale up contact tracing, surveillance, laboratory testing, treatment capacity, and community engagement efforts before the outbreak escalates further. It is also critical to build trust with affected communities, including through survivor-led awareness and risk awareness activities. In response to the current escalating outbreak, whilst working in close coordination with the government health authorities who are leading the response, IRC has launched prevention and control activities, including distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as awareness raising activities amidst communities at risk, rehabilitation of triage areas and rehabilitation/construction of showers, latrines and waste disposal areas. In Uganda, IRC is working with the Ministry of Health on the border to support infection, prevention and control activities including screening people coming across the border. IRC is also supporting response coordination in Uganda.

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Please refer to the attached files. UN Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OHCHR OPT) condemns the increase in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the eve of Eid Al Adha on Tuesday, 26 May. At least 26 Palestinians were killed since Tuesday including six women and seven children as Palestinian families prepared to observe Eid amid displacement, deprivation, and insecurity. Three airstrikes on 26 May killed 12 Palestinians. In the early morning hours, one more 14-year-old girl died of injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike the day before that also killed a 30-year-old woman and a five-year-old girl according to initial information. Since the announcement of a ceasefire, at least 32 children and eight women have been killed in Israeli attacks in which fatalities were exclusively women and children. One of the airstrikes on 26 May killed four men in eastern Al Maghazi camp, Middle Gaza, reportedly after they resisted attempts to search their homes by armed gangs allegedly supported by the Israeli military. Another airstrike hit a car in Al Mawasi, Khan Younis, killing two men. The third airstrike struck an apartment in Al Rimal, Gaza City, and killed a newly appointed commander of Hamas’s Al Qassam Brigades together with his wife, his two sons, aged 15 and 22, his daughter, aged 9, and a woman passerby. On the first day of Eid Al Adha, 27 May, an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza City reportedly killed at least ten: four girls, one boy, three women, and two men allegedly affiliated with Al Qassam Brigades. Since the announcement of a ceasefire, Israeli forces have killed 922 Palestinians in attacks across Gaza, bringing the total death toll since 7 October 2023 to nearly 73,000. OHCHR OPT has consistently warned that Israel’s attacks in Gaza violate international humanitarian law’s principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution in attacks. A recent OHCHR OPT report also concluded that the totality of Israeli conduct in Gaza raises serious concerns about Israel’s compliance with its obligations to prevent acts prohibited under the Genocide Convention. The Israeli blockade on Gaza is also still depriving Palestinians of necessities, including adequate shelter, essential medicines, and food items. Almost everyone is displaced and concentrated into less than half the land area of Gaza— hemmed in by Israeli ground forces that continue to move west, displacing families and pushing them into a progressively narrower strip of land. In recent days, multiple displacement orders were issued, forcing people out of their shelters. The Israeli Prime Minister announced yesterday that he had directed Israeli forces to expand their deployment to cover 70 per cent of Gaza. The continued contraction of areas available to civilians raises grave concerns about access to humanitarian assistance, and the ability of displaced families to find any meaningful safety. “Our concerns about the commission of war crimes in Gaza have not stopped,” said Ajith Sunghay, Head of UN Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. “It is difficult enough to navigate life in chronic displacement in the ruins of Gaza, under blockade, and after Israeli attacks virtually destroyed every essential system: healthcare, education, food production, law enforcement and civil order. Continuing military attacks on a population living under these conditions is unthinkable.” ENDS For more information and media requests, please contact: Mayy El Sheikh – mayy.elsheikh@un.org Tag and share Twitter @OHCHR_Palestine Facebook UN Human Rights Palestine
Countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda Source: International Peace Institute On May 15, 2026, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) confirmed its seventeenth recorded outbreak of Ebola, in Ituri province. Since then, the number of cases has risen to over 900 and the virus has crossed into Uganda and reached the provinces of North and South Kivu, now controlled by the Rwanda-backed M23. Initial reports suggesting that the outbreak may have been circulating for weeks and local health authorities were underprepared to swiftly mount a containment strategy.

UN Photo/Martine Perret. On May 15, 2026, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) confirmed its seventeenth recorded outbreak of Ebola, in Ituri province. Since then, the number of cases has risen to over 900 and the virus has crossed into Uganda and reached the provinces of North and South Kivu, now controlled by the Rwanda-backed M23. Initial reports suggesting that the outbreak may have been circulating for weeks and local health authorities were underprepared to swiftly mount a containment strategy. As international concern grows that the deadly virus might be out of control, the mounting public health response is facing an even more challenging environment than during the last major outbreak in 2018. No vaccine exists for this strain of the virus and Goma, the logistical hub of eastern DRC, is occupied by an armed group. The UN peacekeeping operation in the DRC (MONUSCO) has been drawing down its operations and is now confined to Ituri and North Kivu. On top of this, the global health architecture is under strain following the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this year and a growing deficit in funding to address health emergencies. In this challenging and high-risk context, it is critical that the lessons of the last outbreak inform the management of this one. The temptation in a fast-moving outbreak is to treat the response as an urgent technical problem requiring an urgent technical solution: identify cases, trace contacts, isolate the infected, vaccinate where possible, and bury the deceased safely. But as many learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency health responses in complex political situations are not neutral interventions in passive contexts; they are political acts. This is particularly true in conflict environments, where large-scale public health responses distribute resources at scale, legitimize or delegitimize particular actors, reshape local security arrangements, and engage with populations that read them through the lens of the conflict. When the Health Response Became Part of the Conflict in the DRC In eastern DRC, the 2018–2020 Ebola outbreak was described by WHO as a “perfect storm” in which a highly infectious disease was spreading in an area of active conflict. The Congolese public, particularly in the country’s east, widely viewed their government as predatory, and much of the affected population resided in crowded conditions with poor health infrastructure and was located near porous international borders. Given the seriousness of the risks to local and international public health, WHO and partners in the international community launched a massive health and humanitarian response. This operation was grounded in the principle of “no regrets,” which holds that it is better to overreact to a public health emergency and adjust later rather than act too late. This approach was broadly seen as empowering WHO to take direct action in the affected area with only limited consultation with other parts of the UN system. Many of the decisions made during this period had devastating side effects: they empowered officials and security forces notorious for reprisals against local communities and produced what became known as the “Ebola Business”—a war economy with actors invested in prolonging the crisis. This conflation of the Ebola response with the conflict led to community resistance and violence against health workers that inhibited containment and accelerated transmission. By the time the outbreak was declared over in 2020, more than 3,400 people had been infected, of which some 2,200 had died. Moreover, the conflict in eastern DRC had become even more entrenched, with the ADF armed group carrying out sustained atrocities in Beni territory in North Kivu. MONUSCO’s authority was openly contested by host populations, culminating in the torching of its office in Boikene, near the town of Beni, in 2019. The risks to Congolese lives and international public health posed by the latest outbreak merit a large, swift health and humanitarian response. Such a response is all the more urgent following recent cuts to international support to the Congolese national health system, particularly as a result of the dismantling of USAID, which have reduced the country’s epidemic preparedness and likely undermined its capacity for early detection. However, a response that is not grounded in an understanding of conflict dynamics is likely to hamper efforts to stem transmission. In a 2022 study for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, I analyzed the national and international response to the 2018–2020 outbreak and proposed a variety of ways international responders could have done things differently. Three recommendations from that study remain relevant for the current outbreak: Treat conflict and political economy analysis as central to the design of the health response: In 2018, WHO did not request MONUSCO’s analysis of the security and political landscape into which it was deploying, and MONUSCO was not informed in advance of several key WHO decisions. These included WHO’s decision to engage personnel from the Agence Nationale de Renseignements, a state security service notorious in eastern DRC for human rights abuses, as “community liaisons” who in practice helped direct where the response deployed. That arrangement, documented by the Congo Research Group, created perverse incentives, securitized the response, and lowered public trust in the health response. Position peace and security actors at arm’s length from health activities: There is a critical distinction between using security actors to provide a generally permissive security environment for a health response and using them to provide direct, proximate security. Using uniformed personnel to escort vehicles, guard clinic perimeters, or cordon off health facilities changes the character of the intervention in the eyes of affected communities. The 2018–2020 experience in Beni and Butembo demonstrated how rapidly the proximity of security actors to the health response led that response to be associated with them, sparking hostility against it. While MONUSCO and national security services may have a role in promoting security during the health response, they should clearly distinguish themselves from humanitarian and health operations. Balance the urgency of epidemic response with community engagement and operational flexibility: The “no regrets” posture that prevailed in 2018 produced the conditions that ultimately undermined its effectiveness. Public health measures only function if affected populations trust them enough to participate; securitized responses that treat communities as obstacles rather than partners are counterproductive. In practice, this means accepting slower initial reach in exchange for community-acceptable delivery—local responders rather than teams parachuted in from Kinshasa, motorcycles rather than Land Cruisers, and burial practices negotiated with families rather than imposed on them. WHO’s Global Health and Peace Initiative, and Its Limits To its credit, WHO has not ignored the 2018–2020 experience. In the years following the outbreak, the organization developed the Global Health and Peace Initiative (GHPI), built around two pillars: (1) making health programming “conflict-sensitive” by extending the “do no harm” principle into operational practice and (2) where conditions allow, making it “peace-responsive” by designing health interventions to actively contribute to peace outcomes such as social cohesion, dialogue, and community resilience. The initiative is likely to influence WHO’s thinking as it rapidly designs and rolls out its response to the current crisis. In a 2023 paper for the International Peace Institute, I argued that while the GHPI’s conceptual direction is broadly correct, its operationalization in violent conflict settings carries risks that have not yet been adequately addressed. Two in particular could present challenges for the response in eastern DRC. First, it is unclear how WHO and its partners in the field, including organizations such as Médecins Sans Frontières, will reconcile the principles of conflict sensitivity and humanitarian impartiality when the two pull in opposing directions. For example, even if a conflict-sensitive analysis identifies that delivering a particular intervention will exacerbate conflict dynamics (e.g., if negotiating access through a non-state armed group will entrench that group’s position), that intervention may still be compelled to proceed under the principle of humanitarian impartiality. The GHPI offers no framework for managing that tradeoff. Second, the initiative holds that programming “must be led at national level—from national authorities down to the community level.” This instinct to promote national ownership was borne of the lessons of the 2014-2016 Ebola crisis in West Africa, where the UN was criticized for bypassing national institutions. However, this principle becomes highly problematic when the state is itself a party to the conflict. In eastern DRC, much of the population views Congolese state institutions with hostility born of long experience. Deferring to national ownership without qualification risks reproducing the legitimacy problem that fueled community resistance in 2018 and could empower the predatory actors the response should be insulated from. The outbreak in the DRC demands a more localized, nuanced process for deciding on the role of national actors, grounded in thorough conflict analysis. The Way Forward The international response in eastern DRC will succeed or fail—and it is critical that it succeed—on its ability to implement emergency public health measures within the region’s long-standing social, political, and security quagmire. This will require three deliberate moves from the outset: (1) joint conflict and political-economy analysis to shape deployment decisions rather than follow them; (2) a security posture of less proximate protection combined with negotiated community-level access; and (3) a response built on localized approaches to engaging existing community structures and calibrating the role of national actors. Many further challenges will emerge that will demand difficult choices—not least the reconciliation of the dilemmas innate to the GHPI—but the decisions international responders make in the next weeks could have profound implications for regional and international public health.

Country: World Source: World Health Organization A high-level meeting convened on 20 May on the margins of the Seventy-ninth World Health Assembly brought together global and regional leaders, Member States, donors, partners and technical experts to accelerate progress towards the elimination of malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The meeting underscored the importance of strong cross-border collaboration, exchange of best practices, and integrated multi-disease approaches to sustain gains, expand access to essential health services, and protect vulnerable populations across Africa and beyond. The event was convened by the African Union Commission and the World Health Organization/Global Onchocerciasis Network for Elimination, in collaboration with partners including the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA), Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), The END Fund, the Task Force for Global Health/Health Campaign Effectiveness Coalition, and the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. A high burden of disease requiring immediate action Malaria and NTDs remain major global health challenges. Malaria alone affects an estimated 282 million people annually and causes approximately 610 000 deaths, with young children and pregnant women most at risk. NTDs impact nearly one billion people, with 1.4 billion requiring interventions each year. Global targets for 2030 include a 90% reduction in malaria cases and deaths and in the number of people requiring NTD interventions, the elimination of at least one NTD in 100 countries and malaria in at least 35 countries, and the prevention of disease resurgence. Despite significant progress over the past two decades – driven by expanded access to treatment, preventive campaigns, improved surveillance, and coordinated national efforts – new challenges threaten these gains. Weak health systems, insufficient financing, resistance to drugs and insecticides, climate change, and workforce shortages continue to hinder progress. Recent declines in global health funding have added urgency to the need for more efficient, sustainable approaches. Dr Daniel Ngamije Madandi, WHO Director of Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases, emphasized the progress achieved to date while warning that these gains remain fragile: “Today’s progress shows what is possible: the number of people requiring interventions against neglected tropical diseases has decreased from 2.2 billion in 2010 to 1.4 billion in 2024; today, 63 countries have eliminated at least one neglected tropical disease, bringing us closer to the global target of 100 countries by 2030. At the same time, since 2000, 2.3 billion malaria cases and 14 million deaths have been averted. Over the past 70 years, 47 countries and one territory have been certified malaria-free, and 37 countries reported fewer than 1000 malaria cases in 2024. These gains reflect strong national leadership and partnership, but they remain fragile as malaria and NTDs do not respect borders. For countries entering the final mile, success will depend on integrated health systems, stronger cross-border collaboration, and reaching the most vulnerable and mobile populations. WHO remains committed to supporting through technical guidance, surveillance, innovation, and coordination, while continuing to strengthen its own country-focused approach. If we act together with urgency and unity, a future free of malaria and neglected tropical diseases is within reach.” Moving towards integration and cross-border collaboration High-level panels held during the meeting included senior representatives and leadership from ten African countries, including the Ministers of Health of Liberia, Senegal and the United Republic of Tanzania. Participants emphasized that sustaining momentum will require strong political leadership, prioritization of elimination targets, and the integration of malaria and NTD services into national health systems. Moving beyond fragmented, disease-specific approaches toward more resilient, integrated health services is essential to maintaining high coverage and ensuring long-term impact. The meeting highlighted the critical importance of cross-border collaboration. As diseases and vectors move across borders due to human mobility and climate change, progress in one country can be undermined by high transmission in neighboring regions. Border areas – often characterized by limited access to health services and high population movement – require targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to prevention and care. Dr Ibrahima Sy, Minister of Health and Public Hygiene, Senegal, highlighted the importance of national ownership and regional coordination: “For countries such as Senegal, elimination efforts are based on equity and adaptability. The decline in external funding has been a strong signal urging us to accelerate our transition toward greater health sovereignty and to mobilize more domestic resources. We are committed to strengthening regional coordination, improving cross-border surveillance, and ensuring that no community is left behind as we work toward the sustainable control and ultimate elimination of these diseases.” The meeting also highlighted growing regional momentum to address the cross-border drivers of disease transmission, including migration, population movement, trade, and climate-related risks, through coordinated surveillance, information sharing, and joint preparedness and response mechanisms. In a significant step forward, and building on recent political commitments, including a Call for Action endorsed by African Ministers at the Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly, countries shared their efforts to develop a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cross-border collaboration to combat NTDs, which is now being extended to include malaria, thus signaling a concrete commitment to more structured and sustained regional cooperation. Leaders emphasized that this collective effort is essential to protect vulnerable populations, strengthen health system resilience, and accelerate progress toward elimination targets and broader health security goals. The MoU on cross-border collaboration to combat malaria and NTDs is expected to represent a framework for coordinated action leading to accelerated disease elimination efforts and sustained progress across borders. Dr Carol Karutu, Vice-President, The END Fund, stressed the importance of coordinated and evidence-based approaches to sustain progress: “Achieving lasting impact against neglected tropical diseases requires a coordinated push that aligns governments, donors, pharmaceutical companies and implementing partners around scalable and evidence-based approaches. We are seeing strong momentum where countries invest in integrated health systems and prioritize equitable access to care. The challenge now is to accelerate the sharing of best practices and support cross-border strategies that can prevent reinfection and sustain elimination gains, particularly among the most vulnerable populations.” Eliminating malaria and NTDs is essential to achieving Sustainable Development Goal target 3.3 and contributes to broader development outcomes, including poverty reduction, food security, and improved education. During the meeting, WHO and partners called for sustained investment, innovation, and collaboration to protect hard-won gains and accelerate progress toward a world free of malaria and NTDs.
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) on Friday handed over a first batch of vehicles to the World Health Organization (WHO) at its logistics base in Bunia, Ituri province, to strengthen the ongoing response to the Ebola outbreak. The fleet includes five motorcycles, two ambulances and two four-wheel-drive vehicles, aimed at improving the mobility of response teams, particularly in hard-to-reach areas affected by poor road conditions and insecurity. Overall, MONUSCO plans to provide four ambulances, two armored vehicles, eight motorcycles and two 4x4 vehicles to support the Ebola response through WHO. “The Mission supports the response on several fronts, notably through logistical assistance, including the transport of equipment and medical supplies,” said Jean‑Jacques Lopez, Acting Head of MONUSCO’s Bunia office. He added: “We have already facilitated the transfer of several tonnes of medical supplies from Nairobi and Kinshasa to Bunia, and this support will continue until the outbreak is contained. This effort requires the full engagement of all stakeholders, especially local communities.” The WHO representative at the ceremony, Dr. Richard Fotsing, welcomed the timely support, highlighting the expansion of the outbreak, which now affects three provinces—Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu—as well as six health zones in Ituri. “These vehicles come at a crucial time, as we need increased logistical capacity to reach affected populations and deliver essential services,” he stated, stressing the importance of collective action to prevent further spread, including beyond national borders. “Our joint efforts will help ensure that other countries are not affected; this is why the response to this outbreak requires commitment and contributions from everyone, at all levels,” said Dr. Richard Fotsing, while also commending “the leadership of the provincial government … which greatly facilitates many aspects.” Declared on 16 May 2026 in Ituri, the Ebola outbreak continues to spread due to several challenges, including insecurity, limited treatment capacity, and some community resistance linked to cultural and religious practices. In response to the spread of the outbreak, provincial authorities announced on Friday, 22 May 2026, a series of both restrictive and mandatory measures, including limits on public gatherings, the suspension of local sporting activities, and the compulsory installation of handwashing facilities in public places. Through this support, MONUSCO reaffirms its commitment to working alongside national authorities and partners to contain the outbreak and protect populations in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Sembrar vida en medio del conflicto: una huerta, saberes ancestrales y liderazgo comunitario en Caquetá Por: Johana Botia y Andrés Torres En la vereda Nueva Colombia, municipio de Cartagena del Chairá, el conflicto armado no solo ha impuesto silencios y restricciones de movilidad; también ha dejado duelos abiertos, ausencias y vidas marcadas por la pérdida. En ese escenario de confinamiento y escasa presencia institucional, una huerta se convirtió en mucho más que un espacio para producir alimentos: se transformó en un lugar para sanar, reconstruir y resistir. Edith Gasca lo sabe bien. Ella es indígena, portadora de saberes ancestrales y una de las beneficiarias del proyecto “Mecanismos de respuesta rápida a población afectada por el conflicto armado en el departamento del Caquetá”, implementado por Corpomanigua a través del Fondo Humanitario Regional para America Latina y El Caribe. Cuando ingresó al proyecto, su situación era especialmente difícil: había perdido a un ser querido, hoy sigue desaparecido y, además, ella no contaba con medios para sostener a su familia. “Ella no tenía nada más que sus brazos cruzados”, recuerdan en la comunidad. Hoy, su huerta es una prueba viva de que la recuperación también puede brotar desde la tierra. El departamento del Caquetá continúa enfrentando graves afectaciones humanitarias, especialmente en municipios como Cartagena del Chairá y Florencia. El confinamiento, el desplazamiento forzado, las restricciones de movilidad y el acceso limitado a servicios básicos han impactado de manera sostenida la seguridad alimentaria, la protección y el acceso a agua segura. Frente a esta realidad, Corpomanigua desarrolló una respuesta integral que combinó ayuda humanitaria inmediata con acciones orientadas a fortalecer la autonomía comunitaria. El proyecto logró llegar a veredas con restricciones extremas de acceso (en muchos casos el acceso se daba únicamente por vía fluvial), articulando seguridad alimentaria, protección y agua, saneamiento e higiene (WASH), con enfoque diferencial y de género. Jessica: aprender a escuchar para sembrar valores Un componente clave de este proceso fue la dinamización comunitaria. Jessica Díaz, secretaria de la vereda Nueva Colombia, asumió el rol de dinamizadora, convirtiéndose en el puente entre las familias confinadas y el proyecto. “Yo aprendí a escuchar y a compartir con las demás personas mi conocimiento”, cuenta Jessica. “A ver las necesidades, a ayudar a informar. Esto no es solo sembrar semillas; es sembrar valores, cualidades y habilidades que teníamos guardadas y no sabíamos cómo explotar”. Su labor fue esencial para generar confianza, identificar necesidades urgentes y acompañar a las familias en medio de un contexto marcado por el miedo y la incertidumbre. La huerta de Edith: alimento, memoria y economía familiar Edith recibió orientaciones técnicas, semillas e insumos como parte del componente de jardines productivos. Sin embargo, su huerta no se limitó a replicar un modelo externo. En ella conviven los conocimientos agroecológicos promovidos por el proyecto con los saberes tradicionales indígenas que Edith ha conservado y practicado toda su vida. En su parcela crecen alimentos tradicionales de la zona como plátano y yuca, fundamentales para la dieta local, y bore, una planta local para alimentar a los animales. También produce huevos, tiene casi 120 gallinas. Además, cultiva plantas medicinales con las que prepara bebidas y tés para aliviar malestares menores, manteniendo viva la medicina tradicional. El manejo de plagas es otro ejemplo de esta integración de saberes: Edith utiliza métodos tradicionales, como el uso de cáscaras de huevo en las plantas, evitando insumos químicos y cuidando el equilibrio del suelo. La huerta no solo quedó para el autoconsumo; hoy también representa una fuente de ingresos para ella y su familia, fortaleciendo su economía y su autonomía. Resultados que se traducen en resiliencia Historias como la de Edith se multiplicaron en el territorio. Hasta el 30 de junio de 2025, el proyecto alcanzó a más de 4.000 personas en Florencia y Cartagena del Chairá. Entre los principales resultados se destacan: 93 jardines productivos implementados en Cartagena del Chairá, con más de 7.500 m² sembrados y 12 especies alimentarias de ciclo corto. 384 personas apoyadas con insumos para producción de alimentos y 100 personas formadas en técnicas agroecológicas. 3.500 raciones alimentarias entregadas a 1.500 personas en contextos de confinamiento y desplazamiento. Acceso a agua segura para más de 1.100 personas, mediante la entrega de tanques y filtros. Acciones de protección, salud mental y fortalecimiento de liderazgos comunitarios, con especial énfasis en mujeres, niñas y adolescentes. Sembrar hoy para sostener la vida mañana La huerta de Edith no borra el dolor de la pérdida ni las heridas del conflicto, pero sí demuestra que, incluso en medio de la adversidad, es posible reconstruir la vida desde lo cotidiano. Gracias al liderazgo de personas como Jessica y al reconocimiento de los saberes tradicionales, el proyecto no solo entregó ayuda: fortaleció capacidades, dignidad y esperanza. En Caquetá, cada huerta es un acto de resiliencia. Y cada semilla sembrada, en la tierra y en las personas, es una apuesta por la vida, hoy y mañana.
