Families storm Ebola treatment centre, remove patients

Families of suspected Ebola patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo stormed a quarantine centre, forcibly removing patients from isolation. The incident occurred amid a deepening Ebola outbreak that has already infected over 70 healthcare workers and killed dozens in displacement camps. Authorities are concerned that such actions could accelerate the spread of the virus, as patients who fled may infect others in the community. The event underscores the ongoing challenges of public mistrust and food shortages at treatment centres.
