Police in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo fired shots in the air after angry crowds attempted to reclaim the bodies of loved ones who had died at an Ebola treatment centre in Mongwalu.
Reporters say, Sunday’s unrest continued throughout the day.
The treatment centre, in a hospital compound, was the same place that was targeted overnight on Friday into Saturday, when an isolation tent was set ablaze.
The body of a dead Ebola victim is highly infectious and can lead to the virus spreading further when prepared for burial.
Officials say, there have been more than 900 suspected Ebola cases in the current outbreak and 220 suspected deaths.
