Ebola's frontline: Sky News witnesses how medics fight back the deadly disease in Congo

The eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo are being ravaged by an epidemic of the deadly Ebola virus - it's the worst in the country’s history.

Over 6,000 have been infected with nearly 3,000 dead - and it's spreading. Whole families are being struck down.

Sky's Stuart Ramsay visited clinics in Ituri and North Kivu provinces, and witnessed first hand how medics are battling to save lives amid a war between government and rebel forces.
