Ebola Outbreak Spreads to Fourth Congo Province

The Congolese government has banned public demonstrations in several areas, a move it says will contain the virus but which critics claim stifles dissent.

Health workers are overwhelmed, and vaccination campaigns are struggling to reach remote communities.

The World Health Organization has not yet declared a global health emergency, but neighbouring countries are on alert.

International aid groups are calling for more funding and logistical support to curb the outbreak.
