Death toll from Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo crosses 1,000 on Friday amid attacks on treatment centres
A World Health Organization expert says the UN body expects continued"intense transmission" of Ebola virus in Congo with community mistrust being a major issue in some areas.
More than 1,000 people have died from an Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo that started in August, the Democratic Republic of Congo's health minister said Friday, as attacks on treatment centres and health workers undermine efforts to contain the disease. The World Health Organization said earlier on Friday it feared continued "intense transmission" of Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the death toll from a nine-month-old epidemic was hovering at 994.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo declared a tenth outbreak of Ebola in 40 years last August in North Kivu before the virus spread into the neighbouring Ituri region.
