An outbreak of Ebola in eastern DR Congo has killed 67 people this month, authorities said on Saturday, as they roll out a battery of new drugs to tackle the virus amid concerns it has spread to a rebel-encircled area. A total of 105 cases have been reported since the flare-up of Ebola began on August 1 in Mangina in North Kivu province, according to the country's health ministry, out of which 77 have been confirmed by laboratory tests.
It said 11 people have recovered from the virus and 67 had died.
Health Minister Oly Ilunga Kalenga travelled to Mangina on Thursday and saw two patients being discharged.
