Insecurity in eastern DRC hampers Ebola response

Worsening insecurity and repeated attacks against civilians in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) increasingly impede the Ebola response in Ituri province, the epicenter of the outbreak, UN humanitarians said on Thursday.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that violence in Ituri is also putting displaced families at greater risk.
