> Health workers responding to the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have protested in Ituri province over wages they say have gone unpaid since mid-May. The World Health Organization says the response has received less than half of the funding needed to work effectively. The outbreak has spread across five provinces, with nearly 4,000 people infected and more than 1,800 dead. Officials cite logistical difficulties for the payment delays, while the UN warns that disruptions could hinder the response.
