Red Cross volunteers die from suspected Ebola in DR Congo

The outbreak involves a rare species of Ebola, known as Bundibugyo, which has no proven vaccine and kills about a third of those infected.Health experts warn that touching the body of someone who died from Ebola can spread the virus because bodily fluids remain highly infectious after death.DR Congo's neighbour, Uganda, has also reported cases of the virus. On Saturday, its health ministry confirmed three new cases - bringing the number of confirmed infections there to five.The same day, the African Centres for Disease Control warned 10 other countries on the continent were at risk of being affected: Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Zambia.In DR Congo, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said a tent it had provided in Mongbwalu to treat Ebola patients was burnt on Friday."Understandably, there are still many uncertainties and fears among the community in this rapidly evolving context," it said."This incident highlights just how critical sustained community engagement and trust building are."
