Residents of a town at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo set a treatment center on fire on Friday night in the second such attack in the region in a week.
Eighteen people believed to be sick with the virus left the facility as unidentified assailants targeted the clinic in Mongbwalu. They torched a tent established by Doctors Without Borders for suspected and confirmed Ebola cases, Dr. Richard Lokudi, director of Mongbwalu General Reference Hospital, confirmed.
