The World Health Organization is investigating a possible underreporting of Ebola cases in central Africa. A WHO doctor stated that the true number of infections might exceed current estimates.

While authorities have identified hundreds of suspected cases, health experts suggest the actual scope of the outbreak remains unclear. The potential for a higher caseload raises concerns about the effectiveness of containment efforts and the risk of further spread.

WHO officials are working to assess the situation and provide support to affected regions. They are focusing on confirming the number of cases, implementing preventative measures, and ensuring access to treatment.
