The Democratic Republic of Congo's health minister confirmed the presence of deadly virus, Ebola in Western Kasai province. He added that Ebola has killed nine and infected 21.

He told media persons that analysis from samples taken on site confirmed the existence of the virulent disease, which kills up to 90 percent of its victims, mostly by puncturing blood vessels and spurring non-stop hemorrhage.

French aid group Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said that the Ebola outbreak may have infected 33 people in Kampongo, after the first suspected cases were reported on November 29.

Francois Dumont, spokesperson said, "MSF is currently putting together an isolation unit with doctors, wearing overalls and masks, to help the people suspected of contracting the virus. As there is no cure for Ebola, medical teams on the ground are giving people palliative treatment and anti-malaria drugs."
