Claim 1: “Ebola fears surge on the ground in Congo over rapid spread of a rare type”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence contains no information regarding a current surge of fear or a rapid spread of a 'rare type' of Ebola in the Congo. The web search results are irrelevant dictionary definitions of the word 'there', and the Wikipedia results refer to historical outbreaks (1976) or geographical features (Ebola River), neither of which corroborate the specific claim of a current crisis involving a rare strain.
