Militants attack hospital for Ebola patients in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing a senior World Health Organization epidemiologist and injuring two others, officials say
Butembo city deputy mayor, Patrick Kambale, identifies assailants as"Mai-Mai rebels."
Heavily armed militiamen attacked a hospital treating Ebola patients in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday, killing a senior World Health Organization epidemiologist and injuring two others, officials said. The outbreak is now spreading at its fastest rate since being declared last August, due largely to a spate of attacks by militiamen and others distrustful of the international response.
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus identified the doctor killed as Richard Mouzoko, a senior epidemiologist from Cameroon.
