pouring into the capital hard soon to keep the pressure on the military council to put a civilian government in place will get from one of the pros he says. i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa dan and a bold outbreak in eastern congo is said to be surging out of control as attacks on treatment sanchez stalled if it's to treat those infected and to end of the spread of the virus now attacks in north kivu province have forced the world health organization to suspend its vaccination program and one of the hotspots off the outbreak since being declared last august the outbreak has more than one thousand three hundred confirmed and probable cases including eight hundred and fifty five

deaths and a new number of causes or all the cases has risen along the lake in recent weeks. workers prepare the body of a child for burial another victim of this current outbreak of the disease the young are especially vulnerable two out of three children who contract die but about half of adults survive here at this treatment center in bay ne in eastern congo some of the survivors are working to treat new patients motivated by what they've been through themselves. my uncle became sick first and my parents went to look after him he died and then they got sick and died in the end we lost ten people four of us survived. fighting ever there is dangerous enough strict rules need to be followed workers need to be massed uncovered the outfits are hot and cumbersome especially in the stifling tropical temperatures of eastern

congo. and then there's the violence last friday attackers shot and killed an epidemiologist from cameroon working at a hospital in the city of bhutan go in nearby carts were attackers armed with machetes then tried to burn down an absolute treatment center security personnel guarding the site shot dead one of the attackers and arrested another five the attacks on eveleigh treatment centers are further complicating the fight against the outbreak. distrust of health workers and superstition is also complicating medical efforts to contain the disease president feels to see katie tour the treatment center and appealed for people to accept the doctors and except the disease is real you. i ask you my countrymen my father my little brothers listen and cooperate with the medical response teams that are working tirelessly here to read a kate this decease if you do so this disease will not spread anywhere anymore and

we will contain it and get rid of it completely. so invocations like that have not had the desired results the battle against this outbreak of eveleigh hangs in the balance. delta and mary peg from doctors without borders has recently been in eastern congo she joins us now from paris where she is involved in coordinating efforts on the ground welcome sitting ducks of paper so we're learning that health workers are being forced to suspend some of their operations on the ground the latest being the dead oh today what does this mean for the space outbreak of ebola which is already one of the deadliest we've seen. certainly it means that it's going to be more difficult for patients to get care that they need. and certainly it means that there's of course the risk. is going to spread even further though i think it's quite important to mention no before we focus on that on the fact that health workers have been affected and that the well the response has been affected

which is certainly important that i think it's important to remember that this is an area that's very very routinely affected by by then and that these attacks on people that enters while unfortunate and while definitely likely to have a response. is just another example of the level of violence that's unfortunately endemic to this region and has been over some time right and then we had to send the treatment centers are being targeted in attacks one would wonder why. i think those reasons are complex and i don't think it's necessarily possible to say for sure why the treatment centers are being affected or why the people are response as a as an entity is being is being is being targeted but i do think that it reflects a level of long standing institutional mistrust on behalf of the population an area

that unfortunately for a long time has not had a lot of confidence in government institutions which could certainly be contributing to this as the health department and how the actors can be construed as belonging to that and also to certainly remember that it's an area that prone to going to political manipulations. for various different reasons and certainly of all the response might be the latest point ok you've just been on the ground you've recently returned some of your colleagues are still there what is the situation like what is it like on the ground in these areas during the slick. i mean it's it's tense for sure there's a level of concern certainly under howard teams. as to you know whether or not they're going to remain safe and for how long and whatever things can be time to be done in order to ensure that they do so in the

that they remain so. certainly it's quite a lot of. it's emphasized the importance. in maintaining contact with. all of the sectors of the community that we've been able to to speak to and to to have an even closer to the ground in order to make sure that our activities are able to continue right at your organization has today called on the wall to rethink their response to evolve what is meant by that. i think it means that it's time to look at how can we do what we're doing in a better way how can the in both response respond to not only different people up in this area but how can this become a mechanism by which the health system overall can perhaps be left stronger as opposed to weaker or when the epidemic does eventually end all right that's of

a glossy of the of a child we have been talking about you know attacks on treatment sanchez and the for suspension of some services on the ground and the fact that the says one of the deadliest outbreaks in the but it's not all doom and gloom particularly when you compare this outbreak to to the previous eleven that we saw in west africa a few years ago. certainly yeah i mean yes this is the second biggest epidemic that's been recorded but you're absolutely correct it's nowhere near the amplitude that we saw i was out for grabs which should definitely be seen as a as a good thing. that it's not yet completely completely out of control and i think that there's. a willingness and in determination on behalf of all of the actors who are involved in the response that this is a moment to to rethink how or how responding and to do so but to do so.

you know better and more comprehensive way ok that was dr and mary paid from doctors without borders so i want to bring this to you briefly south african authorities are responding to a flood emergency which has killed more than fifty people in the southern and eastern parts of the country more than a thousand people have been displaced now heavy rains have triggered flooding and mudslides in coastal areas of the province i was in that towel that's undermined buildings causing them to collapse on their inhabitants are the people have been swept away by water and major roads in and out of the port city of durban have also been closed. an extraordinary access to sudan where protest leaders have called for a million people to march to demand the country's ruling military and of a power to a civilian administration be split in these army ended the thirty year role of president omar bashir two weeks ago after months of protests but the opposition is
