Suspected Ebola cases in DR Congo outbreak jump to more than 900

Ebola treatment center attacks are one of several problems plaguing Congo outbreak response

Three Red Cross volunteers who died earlier this month were among the first known victims of DR Congo's Ebola outbreak, and likely caught it while managing dead bodies.

The death of Yves Sakila in Dublin on May 15th has caused outrage in his home country of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a poor central African state torn by conflict and a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak.

Authorities had previously announced more than 700 suspected Ebola cases, and more than 170 suspected deaths, mostly in Ituri province, where the outbreak is centred.
