Armed men attack Monrovia Ebola clinic, 29 patients flee

According to reports, armed men yesterday night attacked an Ebola isolation centre in the densely populated Monrovia suburb of Westpoint, Liberia. 29 patients under quarantine reportedly fled the centre. Some reports say the armed men were residents of the area who looted materials used by quarantine patients.

A witness of the attack, Rebecca Wesseh said "They broke down the doors and looted the place. The patients all fled”

The Head of Health Workers Association of Liberia, George Williams has confirmed the sad incident. But who goes to steal from sick, quarantined people? Are they mentally alright?
