Liberia remains one of the nations most affected by the recent outbreak of the Ebola virus in West Africa, yet there has been a break-in there at an isolation center that held up to 30 afflicted patients, many of whom fled following the break-in — and that has caused understandable concern among health authorities.
Now, according to various reports, as many as 50,000 people who lived in the immediate area of the facility have suddenly become at risk of developing the virus and spreading it; as of this writing, Ebola has killed nearly 1,200 people in West Africa in just a few months.
Several locals in the Liberian capital of Monrovia attacked the health facility on Aug. 16, reportedly in protest of a quarantine that had been established in the area. Residents of the West Point locality said they were angry about patients carrying the disease being relocated to the center.
“It was an attack from people afraid of Ebola,” Liberian National Police spokesman Sam Collins told CNN. “Everybody is afraid.”
