2:50Now PlayingThe Ebola outbreak is posing massive challenges for medical aid organisations, a senior humanitarian official has said.
Kate White, who is a programme manager for the charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and is flying out to the Democratic Republic of Congo, says she is "extremely concerned about the inability to get resources" to the country.
Three Red Cross volunteers who died earlier this month were among the first known victims of DR Congo's Ebola outbreak, and likely caught it while managing dead bodies.
The outbreak has resulted in more than 200 suspected deaths and more than 900 suspected cases.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently said the disease may be spreading faster than originally thought and have declared a public health emergency of international concern. There is no approved vaccine for this outbreak, however experimental ones are in development. There are also no drugs that target it, making the illness harder to treat.
