Ebola outbreakThe latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is at risk of spiralling out of control, as health workers try to contend with both armed insurgents and hostile locals. Health workers walk with a boy suspected of having the Ebola virus at a treatment centre in Beni, Eastern Congo, on Sept. 9.
