An outbreak of suspected Ebola in eastern Congo has infected at least 15 people, 10 of whom have died, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

A statement from the WHO said two of the cases are confirmed Ebola and the rest are "probable".

An outbreak in Uganda last month killed 16 people. Ebola is highly infectious and kills quickly.
