An Ebola treatment center in the epicenter of the deadly outbreak in eastern Congo was set on fire Thursday after angry residents clashed with authorities over the body of a suspected victim.
Rwampara Hospital was attacked by local youths attempting to retrieve the body of a friend who had reportedly died of Ebola, a witness told The Associated Press.
"The police intervened to try to calm the situation, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful," Alexis Burata, a local student who said he was in the area, told the outlet. "The young people ended up setting fire to the center. That’s the situation."
The AP reported that people broke into the center and set fire to objects inside. A reporter also witnessed what appeared to be the body of at least one suspected Ebola victim being burned inside the facility.

Immediately demands another clinic
Demand the body of a person who died of Ebola.
Burn down the facility trying to help people survive Ebola.
Then, shortly afterwards, die of Ebola.
(This is where your dog tilts his head sideways)
High school hijinx!
Sounds like democrat mind set. Really
They have no understanding of how ebola is spread, a lot of it from handling the dead bodies of relatives who have died of ebola.
Even after being told of this great risk, they still want the dead body of their loved one.
I’d say, let ‘em have it.
What would you expect from the same mentality and intelligence level that believes that killing an albino brings wealth and prosperity or raping a virgin will cure AIDS?
It’s Africa. There’s no cure for what happens there.
It’s Africa. There’s no cure for what happens there.
Not even blessing the rains, won’t help.
They won’t get Ebola if the body is well done.

That’s the ticket! Burn down the only place that’s providing care. Reminds me of the muslim troglodyte who killed the doctor who delivered his wife’s baby because he looked at and touched her privates.
YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT OF THE JUNGLE, BUT-—
This is why not a single one belongs in a western country. Ever.
Not. A. One.
DR Congo has an average IQ of 73, ranking #179 out of 195 countries globally.
Pretty much the same across Africa.
Africa is WHACK...and always will be.
Yutes ! I think their plans to become rappers or attend community college may be hampered as they bleed out through their eyes
Docs will complain that it's the public that doesn't understand the risk, however, there is some misunderstanding of risk in the medical community as well which is that risk is NOT a guarantee. When the medical course of action is such that they are acting as if high risk situation is a guarantee of negative outcome, there will always be friction.
So, with COVID, by establishing a "no-visit" protocol, there is the implication that a visit has a guarantee of infection. This is simply not the case.
So, in this ebola case, I wonder if there was a situation where family wanted to conduct a burial (where there's a high risk of infection with ebola) and the docs said, "nope, we're going to burn it out back". No indication of what actually happened was provided in the article.
Below are the WHO recommendations for what is called a "safe and dignified burial" in these cases. When conducted this way, not only is the high risk of infection highly mitigated, the risk of freaking out the family and incurring violence is also highly mitigated.
Safe and dignified burial:
The burial process is very sensitive for the family and the community and can be the source of trouble or even open conflict. Before starting any procedure the family must be fully informed about the dignified burial process and their religious and personal rights to show respect for the deceased. Ensure that the formal agreement of the family has been given before starting the burial. No burial should begin until family agreement has been obtained.
Step 1: Prior to departure: Team composition and preparation of disinfectants
Step 2: Assemble all necessary equipment
Step 3: Arrival at deceased patient home: prepare burial with family and evaluate risks
Step 4: Put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Step 5: Placement of the body in the body bag
Step 6: Placement of the body bag in a coffin where culturally appropriate
Step 7: Sanitize family's environment
Step 8: Remove PPE, manage waste and perform hand hygiene
Step 9: Transport the coffin or the body bag to the cemetery
Step 10: Burial at the cemetery : place coffin or body bag into the grave.
Step 11: Burial at the cemetery : engaging community for prayers to dissipates tensions and provide respectful time.
Step 12: Return to the hospital or team headquarters
