GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) – The death toll from the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo rose above 1,000 on Friday, as violent attacks on treatment centres hamper efforts to control the second-worst epidemic of the virus on record.

The health ministry said 14 new deaths from the virus were recorded, taking the toll to 1,008 deaths from confirmed and probable cases since the outbreak was declared last August.
