Ebola treatment center burned down as Congo death toll passes 4,000
Original: An Ebola treatment center was burned down as the death toll in Congo passes 4,000
An Ebola treatment center in the Democratic Republic of Congo was set on fire in an attack, coming as the country's outbreak death toll passed 4,000 people. The center was reportedly unoccupied at the time. The outbreak, centered in the country's east, is the second-largest in history, and attacks on health facilities have repeatedly disrupted efforts to contain the virus.
Why now: The attack highlights growing violence against health workers during one of the deadliest Ebola outbreaks on record, just as the death toll reached a grim milestone.
