      <video:description><![CDATA[Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo are battling a rapidly escalating Ebola outbreak, with suspected cases now rising sharply across multiple health zones. The latest figures point to more than 700 suspected infections and over 130 reported deaths, a significant increase in just a matter of days.
But beyond the numbers, humanitarian teams say this outbreak is proving especially difficult to contain. Persistent insecurity, ongoing conflict, pressure on already fragile health systems, and limited community awareness are all complicating the response.
Joining CNBC Africa for this conversation is Claire Waterhouse, Director: Advocacy & Analysis, MSF Southern Africa.
