  • Rachel Kavughokahuko nurses her two-month old son in her house in Congo's town of Beni. The 29-year-old Ebola survivor said her breast milk tested positive for Ebola four months after she was cured. Now, she says she feels stigmatised by the community. People call her baby the "Ebola fruit" and are afraid to touch him, she said.
