> Government data says the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed 4,018 people, with 8,300 confirmed cases across seven provinces. The burning of a patient transit camp near Bunia forced 19,000 people to flee, while weak infrastructure, armed conflict and mistrust of health workers have hindered containment efforts.
