Ebola death toll tops 1.800 in DRC

Summary

Turning to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the Ebola outbreak continues to spread rapidly. Africa’s top health agency announced Thursday that it will roll out a vaccine targeting a previous Ebola strain, in an effort to help contain the latest outbreak.

Some frontline health workers have also gone on strike, saying they have not been paid for months. Simon Moritz has the story.
