Doctors operating on the front lines of the fight against Ebola in Congo, already grappling with shortages of basic supplies, are now also having to deal with attacks on their facilities and fleeing patients as the virus spreads ‌rapidly.

At least three such incidents have occurred in the northeastern province of Ituri, where the first Ebola cases were reported, including two targeting the same hospital that permitted more than two dozen patients to run away.

Alongside attacks on health facilities, experts warn that unsafe burials are a leading driver of Ebola transmission. Bureau chief for West and Central Africa, Robbie Corey-Boulet, tells the Reuters World News podcast that those burial traditions hold deep significance in parts of Congo.

Hotel Momentum stands above Switzerland's Loetschen Valley as a symbol of recovery, a year after a collapsing glacier destroyed the village of Blatten.

Built in just 105 days near the neighboring town of Wiler, the wooden hotel is one of the clearest signs of how displaced residents are rebuilding their lives after the disaster.
