00:00Medical teams in eastern DR Congo are facing brutal conditions as they work to contain the country's worst-recorded Ebola
00:08outbreak.
00:10More than 7,000 cases of the virus have been confirmed, including more than 3,000 deaths, according to Congolese
00:18authorities.
00:20There's no approved treatment or vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain behind the current outbreak.
00:27It's not easy, you know, to work in my country to see the community affected by a heart rate like
00:35Ebola without specific treatment.
00:40And to work in this environment with violence, difficult for patients to access in health care.
00:49So we are managing, even though it's not easy, but we make the best.
00:54Eastern DRC is an active conflict zone, making it difficult for health workers to access remote areas.
01:02They also face hostility from some communities, reluctant to accept strict burial protocols.
01:09The virus has now spread to seven Congolese provinces, but authorities say the outbreak may have peaked as infection rates
01:18appear to slow.
01:19So we'll continue the訴ers in spite of how aua is going toризing the virus is.
01:21No, no no.
