People are also dying every day.

Health personnel also say they don't have enough PPE.

Doctors explained to me that lots of PPE, like masks or gloves, is single use, so there needs to be a constant supply.

And because the disease has spread so widely, nurses in rural areas are coming into daily contact with suspected Ebola patients too.

And for the most part, they have nothing.

I saw a difference between doctors working in Ebola treatment centres and other health personnel.

Only a handful of these treatment centres are operating at the moment, and they've been set up specifically for Ebola patients.

The doctors working there are often world specialists.

But then there's the other health personnel, the community nurses or doctors working in small clinics.

They're not trained for this, and yet they're highly exposed.

Dozens of health workers have already been infected, and some, unfortunately, have already died.

Yeah, it's actually hard to know for sure because so much of this outbreak is happening out of view.

The government says 72% of contacts are being traced, but aid workers are very sceptical of this figure.

Some told me off the record that it's probably around 40%.

What this means in simple terms is that the outbreak is out of control.

And of course, that means there's a risk of regional spread.

Many people are not turning up to hospitals or health centres and are dying unnoticed.

Health responders just don't know where all the cases are.

So, for example, it emerged this week that there have been dozens of suspicious deaths in a displacement camp in Bunia.

This camp is right next to the city's airport and the headquarters of NGOs.
