The World Health Organization (WHO) says there is a serious Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The disease has killed 80 people and made 246 people sick.
Ebola is a dangerous virus. It makes people very sick with fever, headache, and bleeding. The virus spreads when people touch sick people or their blood. There is no medicine to cure this type of Ebola.
The WHO is worried because the disease is spreading to other countries. Two people in Uganda got sick with Ebola. The WHO wants countries to work together to stop the virus from spreading more.
