Aid workers, including those with Irish charities, have called for more support in the fight against the Ebola virus, with 60 people now confirmed to have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The charity Concern warned it expected to see more cases in the coming weeks, as the World Health Organization (WHO) briefed reporters on Wednesday about the number of deaths due to the outbreak.
