The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has seen more than 1,500 people die from the Ebola virus during what African health officials are calling the fastest-growing outbreak they’ve ever seen. The latest data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control confirms a total of 3,380 cases and more than 700 patients are hospitalised in isolation. The CBC’s Lien Yeung spoke with Canadian Red Cross public health delegate Meaghan Thumath who is in the DRC. Warning: Some of the images in this interview may be upsetting to viewers.
