At least 131 people have died in an Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo, with more than 513 suspected cases reported, according to local officials.
The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, an international emergency. Cases have now spread to several areas including Nyakunde in Ituri Province, Butembo in North Kivu and the city of Goma.
Authorities in Uganda have also confirmed two Ebola cases and one death, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
An American doctor working in DR Congo, identified by medical missionary group Serge as Dr Peter Stafford, is among the confirmed cases. The CDC said it is assisting in the safe withdrawal of a small number of affected Americans from the region.
