> The fast-growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has passed a grim milestone, with cases exceeding 4,000. In Gabon’s capital, low rainfall and failing pipes have left residents without water from their taps. Meanwhile, rising levels in Kenya’s Lake Baringo are bringing communities into more frequent contact with crocodiles, contributing to an increase in attacks.
