Two attacks on Ebola treatment centers at the epicenter of the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo forced an international medical aid organization to put some of its humanitarian efforts on hold

. Doctors Without Borders experienced an attack in Katwa on February 24 and another Wednesday in Butembo, the organization reported last week.

Congo's Ministry of Health reported that the Butembo Ebola Treatment Center reopened Saturday and is now managed by the ministry in collaboration with WHO and UNICEF, while reconstruction work will soon be launched in Katwa.

Jašarević said that"a risk assessment is done every month, which looks at a range of factors" and based on this, WHO's director-general can assess whether any of its emergency committees needs to reconvene. As of Monday, though, the director-general had not set a date for any meetings."In light of the violence, some partners have understandably put their operations in Katwa and Butembo on standby as they assess the risks.
