Angry protesters set fire to an Ebola treatment center in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing one police officer and injuring two people, according to local health officials. Several patients infected with Ebola and individuals showing symptoms of the deadly virus fled from the treatment center in the village of Bafwabango in the Ituri province. A group of angry young men attempted to prevent the safe burial of a person suspected of being infected with Ebola, despite the family having already given their consent. The facility was completely destroyed, and operations have not yet resumed due to staff fears for their safety. Nearly 400 deaths have been confirmed from Ebola infections since April, according to the latest official data. Health workers have been attacked due to fear, rumors, and superstitions surrounding the disease. Traditional burial practices involving close contact with the deceased remain a major source of transmission. The World Health Organization believes the actual number of infected individuals is likely much higher because the epidemic went undetected for several weeks. Twenty cases have also been confirmed in neighboring Uganda.
