The Ebola virus disease outbreak, officially declared on May 15 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is spreading faster than any other before it, according to the African Union's health agency. According to WHO figures, at least 600 of the 1,759 confirmed cases have died. Among the victims are many parents, some of whom have left their children alone and destitute. We met with some of these orphans in the city of Bunia.
