WHO Says Ebola Kills Many
WHO (the world health group) says there is an emergency. A bad disease called Ebola is spreading fast. It started in Congo. Now it is in Uganda too. More than 130 people have died.
This Ebola is a rare kind. There is no vaccine for it. There is no good medicine. It kills many sick people. A war makes it hard to stop.
Health workers are trying hard to help. WHO gives money and medicine. But the United States does not help much. Officials want countries to check travellers. They say countries should not stop all travel.
