Third Case of Ebola in Congolese City Sparks Fears in Neighboring Rwanda
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rwanda has reopened its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo
after a brief closure that followed the third death of a patient with
the Ebola virus in the Congolese border city of Goma. Since the latest
outbreak began exactly a year ago, the World Health Organization says at
least 2,700 people have been infected with Ebola, with more than 1,800
deaths.
