Whereabouts of nearly 300 people with Ebola unknown in DR Congo

There is a big worry in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Almost 300 people who have a sickness called Ebola are now missing. Nobody knows where they are. This is a very bad situation for health.

Dr. Jean Kaseya, who leads health work in Africa, says this is a problem. Many people are living in special camps because there is a fight in the country. More than 1 million people are in these camps. Health workers cannot go to these camps to help sick people. This means the Ebola sickness can spread very easily to many more people.

People are afraid of a 'huge community transmission,' which means many, many people get sick. Experts also think that thousands of people might die from Ebola in this country by September. It is a very serious danger. The government and health groups need to find the missing people and help everyone stay safe from this dangerous sickness.
