Ebola spreading exponentially in Congo as death toll tops 2,500, UN says

The Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo has killed more than 2,500 people and is spreading across an area bigger than France.
Fear and conspiracy theories have driven locals to attack health teams — ambulances stoned or burned — while dozens of healthcare workers have fallen ill or been killed.
Aid cuts and dwindling emergency funds mean the response is underfunded and could run out within weeks.
