On 13 November, UN health officials said that while Ebola cases had decreased in several provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, ongoing violence and limited funding were jeopardising the effort to contain the outbreak. The ministry of health reported on 11 November that the epidemic had reached 11,042 infections and 5,387 deaths across eight provinces, amid conflict and strained health services.

The World Health Organization warned that transmission remained high and that attacks on health facilities were worsening the situation. Médecins Sans Frontières also warned that many infections were likely undetected and that hospital-to-hospital transmission continued.
