The deaths and suspected cases have been recorded mainly in the Mongwalu and Rwampara health zones, the organisation said in a statement.
The Ebola virus is highly contagious and can be contracted through bodily fluids such as vomit, blood, or semen.

The disease it causes is rare, but severe and often fatal.
“Four deaths have been reported among laboratory-confirmed cases. Suspected cases have also been reported in Bunia, pending confirmation,” the agency said, referring to the capital of Ituri province, near the border with Uganda.
It said preliminary laboratory results have detected the Ebola virus in 13 of 20 samples tested.
