Health workers in the Congo are protesting unpaid wages. They have abandoned several facilities, which could impact efforts to contain an Ebola outbreak. The outbreak is reportedly spreading quickly.

Protests have been ongoing for weeks, with workers demanding payment. Those involved include nurses who care for Ebola patients. Further details about the situation are available from KSAT 12's source.

The protests are centered in Ituri province, where most of the country's Ebola cases are located.
