DR Congo battles Ebola outbreak: 130 people have been confirmed dead

Health authorities and aid agencies are racing to curb the spread of Ebola in one of Africa’s most unstable regions. Emergency medical supplies have started arriving in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 130 people have been confirmed dead, and hundreds of people are being monitored. Officials say they plan to reopen former COVID-19 treatment centres to handle the increase in suspected cases.
