The World Health Organization scaled up readiness for the Bundibugyo virus disease in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, per emro.who.int, as conflict and displacement intensify the health risks.

Djibouti's strategic location amid regional instability has raised concerns over disease spread, with WHO emphasizing enhanced surveillance and preparedness measures in the Horn of Africa.

Meanwhile, Djibouti welcomed Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed for talks on Horn security and trade, Bloomberg reports, highlighting diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region amid ongoing tensions.

Djibouti has also spent nearly $1.7 million on 3,836 Yemeni refugees, as reported by genocidewatch.com, underscoring its role in regional humanitarian efforts.
