The Ministry of health in the Democratic Republic of Congo says more than a 1,000 people are now confirmed to have contracted Ebola and nearly 250 of them have died in the east of the country.
Efforts to control the outbreak are being stepped up in the vast region beset by decades of insecurity. The three provinces affected by the outbreak – Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu – host three and a half million people displaced by conflict. Some of the camps have already recorded suspected Ebola deaths.
The BBC’s Anne Soy travelled to the epicentre and now reports on the measures people are taking in as infection continues to spread.
