The World Health Organization said the latest Ebola outbreak which began last August has killed more than a thousand people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A top W.H.O official, Michael Ryan,says the situation remains serious, but is hopeful the high number of cases will drop.
He says there has been substantial progress in the DR Congo’s ability to cope with the outbreak, but he admitted that the complex conditions in the affected areas, have made it more difficult to control the spread of the virus.
