Ebola cases pass 900

Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo report that suspected Ebola cases in the eastern region have climbed past the 900 mark.

The response effort is facing extreme challenges, including arson attacks on treatment facilities and violent protests by local youth.

These incidents are driven by community anger and distrust, further complicated by international aid cuts and regional instability.

In response to the growing threat, neighboring countries and international hubs like the United States have begun intensifying screening protocols.
