An attack by an Islamic State-linked group killed at least 44 people in a hotspot of Congo's growing Ebola outbreak, officials told the New York Times. Ebola patients fled the clinic.
The overnight raid hit Cantine in North Kivu province and was blamed on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). Reports on Friday, 6 November, spoke of at least 33 dead. By Saturday the New York Times, citing officials, put the toll at no fewer than 44. Further details, including the condition of the scattered patients and how many remain untraced, were not available in the sources at hand.
