Ebola Outbreak in DRC City
Concern increases as Ebola outbreak in DR Congo spreads from the countryside into a city.
Forty-four people have been infected and 23 people are known to have died so far in the latest outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A case has now been confirmed in Mbandaka, a city of a million people about 130km (80 miles) from the area where the first cases were confirmed earlier this month. We hear from people there about the latest concerns.
