]]> The EBOLA outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has spread Bunia, which is the second largest city in the troubled east of the country.

The confirmed case involved a six-month old baby.

Doctors are confused about the EBOLA-striken-baby found in the city of more than one million.

Its parents appear to be in perfect health.

In the rare cases of EBOLA infecting babies, it is passed through breast milk.

Health authorities in Bunia are at full stretch trying to avoid any spread of the deadly haemhorragic virus.

Rebel activity and local community resistance to health workers is making it difficult to contain the worst EBOLA outbreak in the Congo that has killed more than 600 people since last August.
