The rapid spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo has created a "deeply alarming" situation, the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has warned, BBC reported. 

Speaking two weeks on from the outbreak being declared, MSF deputy director Dr Alan Gonzales said never before had "so many cases" been recorded so soon.

His comments came as the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, visited the eastern Congolese province of Ituri - the worst-hit area - to oversee virus containment efforts.
