Congo Ebola outbreak spreads to sixth province as deaths speed up

Fact-check index: 58/100 — The core facts (sixth province, one death every 30 minutes, 'Ebola is winning' quote) are directly supported by the two cited sources, but several surrounding claims (contact-tracing burden, DRC's borders, transmission-route hypothesis) are unsourced analysis presented alongside the reporting.

• Ebola outbreak in DRC has spread to a sixth province — Matches France24 headline and text directly.
• Epidemic is now killing one person every 30 minutes — Matches UN News headline directly.
• 'Ebola is winning' quote attributed to UN News — Matches UN News headline text verbatim.
• Neither report names the newly affected province or gives a death toll — Accurate characterization — the provided source excerpts contain no province name or death toll.
• Each new province adds contact-tracing teams, checkpoints and supply routes for authorities to cover simultaneously — General analytical claim not found in either source; presented without attribution.
• DRC borders several other Central African states — Geographically true but not stated in the source material; used to set up an unsourced inference about cross-border risk.
• Neither report confirms a case outside DRC's territory — Consistent with the source excerpts, which say nothing about cases outside DRC.
• Hypothesis that spread follows transport/trade corridors — Explicitly labeled as an unconfirmed hypothesis by the article itself; sources give no transmission-route detail.
