Claim 1: “With over 1,000 suspected cases and 246 deaths”
DISPUTED
Sources provide conflicting numbers. One web search result explicitly mentions 'over 1,000 suspected cases and 246 deaths'. However, a Wikipedia entry for the '2026 Ebola epidemic' mentions 246 suspected cases (not deaths), and another source reports 906 suspected cases and 223 deaths as of May 27, 2026. Because the specific figures (1,000+ cases and 246 deaths) are contradicted by other detailed reports of the same outbreak, the claim is disputed.

CORROBORATED
The claim is reported by EuroNews and a web search result, both stating that Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived in Ituri on Saturday to support the response against a rare Ebola strain. Additional web results confirm his visit to the DRC amid the outbreak.
