RNPS PICTURES OF THE YEAR - Staff of the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) treat one of two suspected Ebola patients in the isolation unit of Kampungu in Congo's Eastern Kasai province, September 26, 2007. Eight more cases of the deadly Ebola haemorrhagic fever have been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, bringing the total to 17, a World Health Organisation official in Congo said this week. 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.
