An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda is raising fears of wider spread, with over 900 suspected cases and more than 200 deaths reported in the DRC. Health workers warn the toll is likely higher due to limited testing, while conflict, mistrust, and lack of treatment for the rare strain are hampering containment efforts. #Ebola #Africa #EbolaOutbreak 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
