Ebola in DR Congo: Fast response needed to stop 'catastrophe', DR Congo governor sayss The military governor of the Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri province, the epicentre of the current Ebola outbreak, has likened the struggle to contain the spread of the virus to a "war" for which they are lacking resources to fight.
"People in affected areas are not receiving enough food," Johnny Luboya Nkashama told French broadcaster RFI, adding that "other diseases" and "overcrowding" are also issues.
He called for a "swift response", including strengthening the capacity of staff to prevent Ituri "from descending into catastrophe".
Officials say there are more than 900 suspected cases of Ebola, and 223 suspected deaths, since the outbreak was declared on 15 May.
