Sharjah 24 – AFP: The worst ever Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has now killed more than 4,000 people out of more than 8,000 confirmed cases, Congolese officials said on Friday.

The outbreak, which was officially detected in mid-May, has hit unstable regions in the vast central African country where armed clashes and violence have hindered the health response to the deadly virus in recent days.
