Amman, July 14 (Petra) - The World Health Organization (WHO) warned Tuesday that the actual number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is likely double to quadruple official reports.

Chikwe Ihekweazu, WHO's Executive Director of the Health Emergencies Program, reported that the number of reported cases is "at least two to four times larger" after returning from eastern Congo, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The warning comes as the DRC confirmed that Ebola cases rose to 1,963, including 719 deaths, as of July 12.
