In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a crowd set fire to Ebola treatment tents at a hospital in Rwampara amid rising tensions over the handling of a suspected Ebola victim's body. The incident occurred as new cases of the virus were reported in the region, which is experiencing a significant outbreak (Financial Times).
Coverage varies in emphasis and framing. The Financial Times and The Globe and Mail focus on the broader context of the outbreak and the crowd's motivations, while Euronews and BBC News highlight the emotional aspect of the incident, emphasizing the grief of relatives. The Daily Caller, on the other hand, presents a more sensationalized account, stressing the escalating death toll without delving into the community's perspective or the reasons behind the crowd's actions.
