Ebola cases surge in North Kivu as Ituri outbreak slows

Original: Ebola: Sharp jump in cases in North Kivu while outbreak slows in Ituri

Health authorities report a sharp increase in Ebola cases in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, even as the outbreak slows in neighbouring Ituri. The diverging trends highlight the uneven progress of containment efforts in the eastern Congo region, where insecurity and population movement have repeatedly complicated the response to one of the world's deadliest Ebola epidemics.

Why now: Fresh figures show the outbreak worsening in one province while improving in another, raising concern about the overall containment effort.
