Symbolic imageMSF and Africa CDC warn Congo Ebola response is faltering
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Thursday that Congo's Ebola outbreak is still out of control after six months. Africa CDC warned that attacks on health workers are hampering the response.
Figures published on Wednesday, 11 November, put the outbreak above 11,000 cases and 5,387 deaths, its worst on record, with violence in the east complicating the response. The two warnings, reported by Reuters on Thursday, 12 November, point to insecurity as a central obstacle to containing the disease.
