“deaths in new Ebola outbreak reach 80”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly supported by a Yahoo News report citing Reuters, stating that the DRC health ministry confirmed 80 deaths in a new Ebola outbreak in the Ituri province. While another source mentions 67 community deaths for a different strain (Bundibugyo), the specific figure of 80 deaths is explicitly reported by the health ministry via Reuters.
