The Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo is worsening the region's food insecurity, according to the World Food Program's acting Executive Director Carl Skau who described the situation as a “crisis on top of a crisis.”

The measures include asset freezes, travel bans, and restrictions on supplying weapons and military equipment to them.

The head of the U.N. food agency is warning that the fastest growing Ebola outbreak ever recorded is leaving thousands more people hungry in eastern Congo.
