International medical organisation, Médecins Sans Frontières says health workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo are struggling to contain the current Ebola outbreak.
The latest figures show that more than 1,000 people have died in the two months since it was declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization.
As of 22 July, more than 1,000 people have died in the outbreak in Congo, according to figures from Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
The remote Ituri province accounts for nearly 90 per cent of cases, but Ebola has been confirmed in five provinces, all in the east of the country.
The region is already dealing with conflict-related insecurity, hampering efforts to deal with the outbreak.
