Ebola death toll passes 1,000 as officials warn of 'volatile situation'

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo claimed its 1,000th victim today, and officials warn that increasing violence in the region has become a "major impediment" to their efforts to halt the spread of the disease. As of May 1, there had been 1,510 confirmed Ebola cases and 994 deaths since the outbreak began in the DRC's North Kivu and Ituri provinces last August.
