Ugandan health officials say a five-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with Ebola has died. He was the first confirmed case of the disease in Uganda since an outbreak began in eastern Congo. Grant Ferret reports.

The child died in a medical isolation unit in western Uganda, not far from the Congolese border. He had crossed over on Sunday along with several other family members. They were returning from a visit to the DRC during which the child's grandfather died of Ebola. Since the outbreak began last August, about two thousand cases have been reported in eastern Congo, two thirds of them have been fatal. In recent months, the Ugandan authority has been preparing for the arrival of Ebola, vaccinating thousands of health workers.
