Ebola "can be stopped," World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said after landing in the disease-stricken Democratic Republic of the Congo on Thursday.

He also said the organization does not support any travel bans because "they don't make that much of a difference."

WHO has so far recorded ten confirmed and 223 suspected Ebola deaths in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since the outbreak was detected in mid-May.
