According to the WHO, the latest outbreak in the DRC, the 17th to hit the vast central African country of more than 100 million people, is already suspected of having caused 139 deaths out of nearly 600 probable cases.

Many of the cases have been recorded in the epidemic's epicentre in the DRC's northeastern Ituri province, many in hard-to-access areas plagued by the Congolese east's litany of armed groups.
