Many international groups are working to stop the outbreak.

In short:

There are almost 600 Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

Only 64% of people who had contact with sick patients are being watched.

What's next?

Health workers are trying to make a vaccine for this type of Ebola.

At least 100 people have died from Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In two weeks, the number of cases increased by more than eight times.

The authorities are worried because they did not find the disease until it had already spread.

The tests were not made to find this type of Ebola.

Only 64% of people who had contact with sick patients are being watched, which is lower than usual.

A man named Jean-Jacque Muyembe Tamfum, who helped find Ebola in 1976, is working on the problem.

He said the big challenge is to make people trust the health workers.

He also said that the security situation is a problem because there are many armed groups.

Most of the cases are in the Ituri and North Kivu regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The area is very unstable and has many problems like conflict and climate change.

The health workers are trying to stop the disease, but it is spreading fast.

They do not have enough supplies and there are security concerns.

In some places, the hospitals are struggling to prevent the spread of the disease.

A woman named Marie Roseline Belizaire said they are starting from scratch to stop the outbreak.

They need to put in place a system to watch for the disease and prevent it from spreading.

The hospitals in the area are not prepared to handle the outbreak.

The community has had Ebola before, but this is a new type and there is no vaccine.

The health workers need to explain the situation to the community so they can understand.

The first time the community had Ebola, they did not know about the different types.

The World Health Organization said the outbreak is still spreading.

They are worried about people moving around and not getting treatment.

The report said that people are not seeking medical help because they do not trust the health workers.

This is making it hard to stop the outbreak.

The community is afraid and does not have the right information.

This is making it hard to find and isolate the sick people.

The outbreak is still spreading to new areas in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

A person from the Democratic Republic of Congo traveled to the United Arab Emirates and then back to Uganda.

The health workers in the United Arab Emirates did not find any new cases.
