New Ebola outbreak fuels mounting global alarm as U.S. works to relocate affected Americans
A new Ebola outbreak in central Africa has raised global concerns, prompting the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency. Over 300 suspected cases and 88 deaths have been reported, primarily in Congo and Uganda. The U.S. is working to relocate affected Americans while health officials warn of the outbreak's potential spread due to its late detection.
