Posted by NPR - Africa News on

A World Health Organization medic prepares a vaccination dose for a front-line aid worker earlier this year in the small town of Mangina, Democratic Republic of Congo. Four Ebola response workers were killed and six others injured in two attacks overnight  one in Mangina and the other in Biakato Mines.

The two overnight assaults on Ebola response teams also injured at least six people, according to the World Health Organization. The attacks come at a pivotal time for the fight against the disease.
