Police fired warning shots and tear gas in the Congolese town of Rwampara after protesters stormed an Ebola treatment centre and set fire to medical tents during clashes over the burial of a suspected victim. Witnesses said tensions escalated after relatives disputed the cause of death and demanded the body be returned to the family. The unrest comes as health officials race to contain a growing Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with suspected cases and deaths continuing to rise. #ebola #news #congo #health
