Angry young men stormed a hospital treating Ebola patients at the heart of the latest outbreak of the disease in eastern Congo on Sunday evening, forcing the medical staff to scramble to evacuate the patients as gunfire rang out in the area.
It was not immediately known if anyone was hurt in the attack on the Mongbwalu General Hospital but Dr. Richard Lokudu, the hospital’s medical director, told The Associated Press the attackers demanded that two bodies of their relatives be handed over to them.
There was gunfire and the medics were trying to evacuate the patients and the staff, Lokudu said over the phone.
“Mongbwalu General Hospital is on general alert,” he added. He did not have any further details of the unfolding turmoil.
The attack – the third in a week’s time on health care facilities where medical workers struggle with lack of resources to treat suspected Ebola cases - underlined the challenges of the outbreak, which the World Health Organization has declared a public health emergency of international concern.

“total suspected Ebola deaths stood at 119, but the numbers it released separately for each region added up to 220.”
This isn’t third world. It’s stone age with cell phones.
The obvious solution is the withdraw medical personnel, and set up a cordon sanitaire around the area. Let nature run its course amongst the savages that don’t want modern medicine.
“lack of resources” what a pile of horseshitte.
It is not lack of resources that caused “family members” to storm the clinic and threaten to kill — it was lack of security.
Ebola bodies, unless embalmed, can spread disease. Turning them over to arseholes with guns and heads up butts will wipe out the village.
Which, some might argue, would be a good thing in this instance.
Quit turning a lack of security into a begging for more $$. Oh, so you can blame DJTrump for cutting USAID? Yeah, that is what this is about.
They want to eat them for immunity
And the primary vector of infection is...??
Ignorant savages...................
“Ebola virus is primarily transmitted to humans from infected animals, with fruit bats serving as the main natural reservoir, and spreads between humans through direct contact with bodily fluids.”
Deep state trying to spread ebola and stop the coming elections. Wasn’t the ghoul Fauci supposed to cure Ebola 30 years ago.
I like that plan.
and so called ‘conservatives’ want to import these people into our neighborhoods so they can get their grass mowed for cheap. muh cheap labor
Exactly...until these Stone Age dipsticks alter their habits, this will never end. Let them handle it.
To eat?
Their culture includes holding the bodies of the recently deceased. Evidently that takes precedence over not getting Ebola.
I once heard the average IQ in Africa was about 70.
This tracks.
subterfuge wrote: “Deep state trying to spread ebola and stop the coming elections.”
There is absolutely no evidence of that.
“Maybe “His Honor” Mam-damn-me knew something was up, possibly a terrorist attack.”
That was my first thought.
I doubt that the people living there want to handle diseased bodies.
Can they be that stupid?
I highly doubt it.
LOL!
Sorry, my paste was from another thread.
Maybe I should go back outside and finish mowing!
