KIN­SHASA, Con­go (AP) — An­gry young men stormed a hos­pi­tal treat­ing Ebo­la pa­tients at the heart of the lat­est out­break of the dis­ease in east­ern Con­go on Sun­day evening, forc­ing the med­ical staff to scram­ble to evac­u­ate the pa­tients as gun­fire rang out in the area.

It was not im­me­di­ate­ly known if any­one was hurt in the at­tack on the Mongb­walu Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal but Dr. Richard Lokudu, the hos­pi­tal’s med­ical di­rec­tor, told The As­so­ci­at­ed Press the at­tack­ers de­mand­ed that two bod­ies of their kin be hand­ed over to them.

There was gun­fire and the medics were try­ing to evac­u­ate the pa­tients and the staff, Lokudu said over the phone.
