Mourners in the Democratic Republic of Congo have buried Marie-Celestin Karondwa, a local official who died after being beaten while defending the regional Ebola response. He suffered fatal injuries in the attack, which has drawn attention to growing hostility towards health workers and officials fighting the outbreak in the country's east.
