hundred sort of cruel material the story to offer your new problem the scary streets physics is material science. would do it if you take time to truly. believe. this is news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes he is the outbreak in congo is searching out of control the world health organization has taught me suspended its vaccination campaign as filed into tax on treatment sanchez forced to wind down these services what does this mean for the nation's south break off a deadly virus. and sudan's defiant demonstrations people from across the country are pouring into the capital khartoum to keep the pressure on the military council

to put a civilian government in place we'll hear from one of the prison just. i'm christine want to welcome to news africa. and a bold outbreak in eastern congo is said to be surging on trolling as attacks on treatments sanchez stalled if that's to treat those infected and to end of the spread of the virus 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 the new number of causes or all the cases has risen alarmingly 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 brainy 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 tembo 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 present future she katie toured the treatment center and appealed for people to accept the doctors and except the disease is real. i ask you my countrymen my fathers my little brothers listen and cooperate with the medical response teams that are working tirelessly here to replicate this to seize if you do so this disease will not spread anywhere anymore and we will contain it and get rid of it completely. so far indications like that have not had the desired results the battle against this outbreak of eveleigh hangs in the balance. duff's admirably

paid 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 crowd welcome city docs are paid so we're learning that health workers are being forced to suspend some of their operations on the ground the latest being the death of you h o two day what does this mean for the status outbreak of ebola which is already one of the deadliest we've seen. may 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. spread even further though i think it's quite important to mention. 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

routinely affected by them and that these attacks on me will enters while unfortunate and moderately likely to have a strong response. is just another example of the level of violence 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 impacted or why the people respond as a as an entity is being is being is being targeted but i do think that it reflects a level of wants and the 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. that the health department and health 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 have 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 on how our teams. to you know whether or not they're going to remain safe and for how long and whatever things can potentially be done in order to ensure that that they do so that they remain so of who 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 them 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 it all know 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 emote 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 does have a glossy i'll give a challenge we have been talking about you know tests 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 case 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 it was to africa 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 our responding and to do so but to do so. you know better and more comprehensively. ok that was struck to anne-marie paid from doctors without borders so i want to bring this to you briefly south african
