The United Nations warned Wednesday that the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda could worsen a food crisis in the region as the virus has spread beyond its initial epicenter to additional areas.

The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak a public health emergency of international concern, citing rising cases, cross-border spread and significant uncertainties about the scale of the epidemic, and allocated an additional 3.4 million U.S. dollars from its contingency fund for emergencies.

Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told reporters that the UN chief called for efforts to help address global humanitarian needs, including emerging challenges such as the Ebola outbreak.

"On the ground, our colleagues at WFP (World Food Programme) are telling us today that the Ebola outbreak could worsen food insecurity unless access constraints are overcome and assistance is scaled up," he said.

As of May 19, the DRC has reported more than 500 suspected cases and at least 130 deaths. Uganda has confirmed two cases, including one death.

Currently, 26.5 million people in the DRC face severe food insecurity. In the eastern part of the country -- the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak -- nearly 10 million people are experiencing crisis or emergency levels of hunger.
