Friday briefing: What do the cuts in aid mean for the fight against Ebola in the DRC?
The Ebola virus is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Ituri province, with at least 240 suspected deaths. Health workers warn that reduced global aid and challenges like conflict, overcrowded camps, and limited medical facilities are complicating efforts to contain the outbreak, which has now reached other regions in eastern DRC and Uganda.
