A doctor was killed and 2 hospital workers were injured on Friday during an attack on a hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo while they were working with Ebola virus victims, the World Health Organization announced.

WHO has yet to declare its highest alert: "Public Health Emergency of International Concern," despite at least 1,000 cases of Ebola confirmed in the Congo.
