Confirmed Ebola cases on the rise in DRC

United Nations said health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo have recorded more than 1,560 confirmed Ebola cases across Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu provinces.

U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric added that Ituri remains the outbreak's epicentre and that cases have been reported in at least four displacement sites, where poor water, sanitation and hygiene conditions are elevating the risk of further spread.
