Armed men abduct woman, child from Ebola clinic

Armed assailants removed a woman and her daughter from a health centre in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday, authorities said, raising fears of further spread of the Ebola virus. The incident underscores the security challenges facing health workers as the outbreak has already surpassed 800 cases and 192 deaths. Mistrust and violence have hampered containment efforts, with Doctors Without Borders warning of 'dangerous gaps' in the response. The abduction could deter patients from seeking treatment and allow the virus to spread undetected.
