WHO to host emergency committee meeting on DR Congo Ebola outbreak

The World Health Organization (WHO) will on Tuesday host an emergency committee meeting to discuss a deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has killed an estimated 131 people.

"An Emergency Committee has been scheduled for later today," a WHO spokesman told AFP, two days after the U.N. health agency's chief declared the outbreak an international public health emergency.
