An angry crowd in the Democratic Republic of the Congo set fire to part of an Ebola hospital after relatives of a deceased man were denied his body for burial. The hospital staff cited the risk of contagion, leading to protests and violence. The deceased was a local footballer, and his family believed he died from typhoid. Some villagers doubt the existence of Ebola, viewing it as a fabrication. The outbreak has killed over 130 people, prompting the WHO to declare it a global health emergency.
