Authorities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo are searching for a six-year-old Ebola patient and her mother after armed men stormed the hospital where they were being treated.
The child was taken from Wanamahika Hospital, in the city of Butembo, by “very angry” men with knives, local health official Dr Lubambo Maboko Gaston said in a statement.
It is unclear whether the men were known to the child, but suspicion and fear surrounding Ebola treatment centres have been rife during the current outbreak.
