ISIS militants have reportedly been showing up at an Iraqi hospital for Ebola treatment.

According to reports by three media outlets, an undisclosed number of militants displaying signs of the disease attended a hospital in the ISIS-held city of Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad.

While the reports from Kurdish and pro-Iraqi sources are yet to be confirmed, the World Health Organization, WHO, is investing the matter.

An spokesman of WHO, Christy Feig, said the group are trying to reach out to officials in ISIS-held areas to offer help.

It is unlikely that UN workers will carry out an operation in IS-controlled areas in Syria and Iraq as they have currently been banned from entering those areas.

Mosul has been under control of ISIS since June 2014 and over the past few weeks militants have reportedly executed more than a dozen doctors for refusing to treat injured fighters.

According to a report in Iraq's pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, the disease was brought to Mosul by 'terrorists' arriving 'from several countries' and Africa.
