model with vision i learned how he's pushing the brain skin condition under the spotlight. i'm christine want to welcome to news africa i'm glad you're cheated and we begin in the democratic republic of congo where the military is having to protect a boulder her health work has after attacks on treatment centers the violence is defying if it's to curb the spread off the virus this is the 2nd worst ebola outbreak on record it's been centered on the north keevil and a tour of provinces in the north east off the country so far about $1600.00 people in the 2 regions have been infected with the virus since mid last year and more than a 1000 people have died now the presence of warring armed groups mixed with people steep to distrust off the government and i. outside this is hampering the response
7:32 pm
. authority on the ground based the aftermath of another attack on an ebola treatment center security forces managed to fight off the attack it was carried out by a my my rebel group one of many operating in congo's volatile northeast. if they get you if they knew one of the guards came to tell us not to panic and it. may have been a bad place had told him the center was under attack yeah. the precarious security situation in this part of the country has complicated efforts to control the ebola outbreak the various rebel groups have been accused of spreading rumors about it for their own political gain this is adding to an environment of distrust towards health workers some villages believe the disease was created to take their money. but also information sometimes spreads much quicker than correct information for for the most part denying
7:33 pm
a bowler is very dangerous disposal this is as we often say that people will die of ignorance but we're trying to fight this ignorance in the population going to us. you know ineffective vaccination program has halted to spread in some northeastern towns. but others particularly predator rebel groups have seen a spike in new cases the world health organization is now warning there is a risk infections could spread to other provinces in a statement last week it said without commitment from all groups to cease these attacks it is unlikely that this outbreak can remain successfully contained in north kivu and the cheery provinces. until the end secure she stops until rebel groups stop weaponize singing villages fear and mistrust will continue to find a fertile breeding ground. to get an update on the situation i'm joined by
7:34 pm
have the d.r.s. sees country director for save the children will come to the african haven what health workers on the ground telling you are they afraid. yes some of them because of the recent violence in some of the areas where we're responding to the a bowl or a break i mean particularly in good temper where we had the tragic and happened where we had the tragic killing of cameroonian doctor recently and devoted treatment centers have been attacked and they've been married as violent demonstrations so it's made it very hard. for some of the health workers to actually go out. and that's why we see up scale in the cases of the boat recently. but it's not i mean good tempered whites particularly bad if we weren't getting anywhere things are a little calmer right. now health workers have been it was ok
7:35 pm
so if you're talking about an upscale in the cases but i think a lot of people will be aussie in the question is this outbreak likely to spread outside of the borders of where it is currently contained. it could easily do that you know at the moment it is contained within 21 different health in north people and the jury where it's been for some time but i mean you know you can easily spread across the border into uganda rwanda or move southwards towards goma i think the facts and nation campaign has been a real success and i think this is one of the reasons why it hasn't yet moved across borders or the sound that they in our reports we heard that there is a mistrust among the congolese people off the health officials what can be done
7:36 pm
because this is some of the reasons why people don't go and seek treatment. what we really need is. more community engagement so more engagement with the community we need to listen to the community and one of the things they told me is that their insecurity is one of the most worried about they are worried about it both or course but they you know this being in spirit in and around any. and that's what worries them and also the fact that they health care and education for their children and so they say they want more than just the voter response i think we need to look at their response in a more holistic way and then we'll have more success with the communities and the have more trust in the people responding to the outbreak all right that's. d.r. c. country director for save the children talking to us from kinshasa thank you.
