An outbreak of Ebola in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo is not under control and the number of people killed by the disease has more than doubled to 31 in the past week.
"The epidemic is not under control ... On the contrary the situation is very, very serious," Eugene Kabambi, a spokesman for the World Health Organisation said in Kinshasa.
The disease has stricken people in the towns of Isiro and Viadana in Orientale province.
