DR Congo Ebola emergency: Calls grow for urgent humanitarian access
The Ebola response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is being obstructed by continued violence. UN News reports that fighting has forced thousands of people to flee a displacement camp in the east, making access for aid workers harder. WHO simultaneously reports 7,890 confirmed cases and 3,799 deaths by 23 September. Conflict and epidemic are therefore reinforcing the same humanitarian access crisis.
