More than 1,600 people have died since August in the second deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, which is unfolding in a region described as a war zone. The DRC's health ministry claims the man took a bus the 200km (124 mile) journey from Butembo to Goma last week. Health officials have reportedly identified 60 people who encountered the priest after he became ill, of which just half have been vaccinated against Ebola. An Ebola patient has died after bringing the disease to the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) eastern city of Goma. Health officials have reportedly been dreading the arrival of Ebola to the city for months.
