# Protesters set alight two hospital tents treating Ebola patients in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo yesterday. This comes after relatives of a young man thought to have died from the virus were prevented from taking his body away for burial. Six patients were receiving treatment in the medical tents at the time of the attack. The DRC has recorded 160 deaths linked to Ebola. The World Health Organisation recommends safe and dignified burials for Ebola victims, with trained teams using protective equipment to handle bodies.
