A new Ebola outbreak is confirmed in a remote Congo province, with 65 deaths recorded

Summary: A new Ebola outbreak has started in a remote part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. So far, 65 people have died and 246 might be infected. Uganda also reported one death from a man who traveled from Congo. Ebola is a very dangerous virus that spreads through body fluids like blood.

Scientists are worried because this outbreak might be caused by a different strain of the virus. If true, the current vaccines might not work against it. Health groups are rushing to help, but bad roads and moving populations make it hard to stop the spread. This is Congo's 17th Ebola outbreak since 1976.
