Staff of the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) walk past a house in the isolation unit of Kampungu in Congo's Eastern Kasai province September 26, 2007. The Democratic Republic of Congo said on Friday that health experts were managing to contain the spread of an outbreak of deadly Ebola haemorrhagic fever whose confirmed cases have risen to 24. MSF's team of experts is working to stem the outbreak in the vast central African country where health care services are virtually non-existent after years of war. Picture taken September 26, 2007.
