Congo Locals Attack Ebola Health WorkersAdded:
Thank you everyone. Currently Ebola is spreading very rapidly in Congo. Ebola is spreading in Congo and already more than 160 people have died. The problem is that the culture of the Congolese people is clashing with the medical staff. In particular, there have been incidents where people demanded the bodies of Ebola victims, attacked medical staff, and set fire to treatment centers. Since the Congolese people keep attacking the medical staff, problems continue to arise. Especially the local culture itself has a custom of mourning by touching the bodies or clothes of the deceased. But the problem is that this is becoming a major route for the spread of Ebola.
That's all for now.
