The World Health Organization says there are now 101 confirmed cases of Ebola in DRC.
This number doesn't reflect the true picture.
Health workers have recorded at least 220 suspected Ebola-related deaths, according to the WHO, and more than 900 suspected cases.
In neighboring Uganda, health authorities also confirmed two new ones, bringing the total number there to seven.
With fears that Ebola will spread further, Congo's government over the weekend suspended flights to the city of Bunia, which is at the heart of the outbreak.
But aid and health workers have to come in and out.
The flight restrictions have created uncertainty and added another logistical problem to an already complex international response to the disease.

The health care infrastructure is degraded.
Aid budgets have been slashed.
And all of this in a region which is in the grip of extreme violence.
