> Health teams in the Democratic Republic of Congo are intensifying efforts against an Ebola outbreak that has lasted more than four months. New infections continue in North Kivu, where a Butembo treatment center has admitted 239 patients, including 113 confirmed cases, while some facilities operate beyond capacity. Officials say it is too early to declare the outbreak under control.
