Many unpaid health workers and other frontline workers have also gone on strike, further complicating response efforts in what\u2019s been declared the fastest growing Ebola outbreak on record with 2,181 cases, including 864 deaths so far recorded.<\/p>\n

Many of the attacks have been carried out by angry mobs who have stormed treatment centers or targeted response teams in the field, Pierre Akilimali, incident manager for the Ebola response, said at a press briefing in Bunia, the capital of Ituri.<\/p>\n

This follows the latest attack by residents protesting the death of a woman at a nearby hospital in Ituri\u2019s town of Nyakunde on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
