VIENNA There are now more than 600 confirmed or probable cases of Ebola in Congo, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.
The majority of new cases occurred in cities and urban areas in eastern North Kivu province, where an Ebola outbreak was declared in August.
Numerous militia groups are fighting for control over the country's rich natural resources in the province, hampering efforts to combat the epidemic in the impoverished nation.
Mass protests that erupted in recent days over a delay in Congo's presidential elections have also frustrated the work of aid officials.
