On Sunday evening, a group of young men stormed the Mongbwalu General Hospital in eastern Congo, demanding the bodies of relatives who had died from Ebola. Gunfire was reported during the incident, prompting medical staff to evacuate patients. This attack is part of a troubling trend, marking the third assault on healthcare facilities within a week as the region grapples with an Ebola outbreak declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization. The outbreak has seen a significant rise in suspected cases, with the Congolese Ministry of Communication reporting 904 cases and 119 deaths, although some figures suggest a higher death toll. In response to the crisis, authorities have mandated that burials of Ebola victims be managed by health officials to prevent further contagion, leading to protests from families. The situation has been exacerbated by violent incidents, including the burning of a Doctors Without Borders tent and the escape of suspected Ebola patients. The outbreak poses a “very high” risk for the Democratic Republic of Congo, with some cases reported in neighboring Uganda.
