Relatives at a hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo attack the facility where Ebola patients were being treated, prompting people to flee, according to reports. Both accounts say the incident follows anger over the death of a woman who gave birth at the hospital. The relatives storm the hospital, and workers and others leave the premises amid the unrest. The reports focus on the immediate reaction to the attack and the subsequent departure from the facility rather than on the wider security response. Details about casualties among staff or patients, the number of Ebola patients affected, and the specific circumstances surrounding the childbirth death are not provided in the supplied summaries. The two outlets describe the same core sequence of events: a death tied to the hospital’s maternity services triggers the relatives’ anger; the group then enters the hospital; and the situation leads to workers and others fleeing the area while Ebola patients are present.
