Armed men attacked an Ebola treatment centre in the east of the again on Saturday, killing a policeman and wounding a health worker, the authorities said. The facility, located at Butembo in the troubled province of North Kivu, only reopened last Saturday after an attack by gunmen the previous Wednesday forced its closure.
It was the third attack on the centre, said the mayor of the city of a million people. He branded the attackers “terrorists” who wanted to “kill the sick” and said the captured attacker was a member of the Mai-Mai rebel group. It highlighted that more than 40% of deaths are occurring in communities rather than in Ebola treatment centres. Repairs were also set to begin on another North Kivu treatment centre, in Katwa, that was set ablaze on the night of 24 February.
The Butembo centre is now run by the health ministry in collaboration with the WHO and the UN children’s organisation Unicef.
