Crowd loots Ebola centre in Liberian capital, worker says patients removed

By Clair MacDougall MONROVIA (Reuters) - A crowd attacked a makeshift Ebola quarantine centre in a rundown neighbourhood of the Liberian capital, throwing stones and looting equipment and food, witnesses said, and a health worker said patients had been removed from the building. "They came in and took whatever they could take and took their patients because they don't want anyone here," a health worker, who declined to be named, said as a crowd gathered around the fence of the centre in the West Point neighbourhood late on Saturday. Fearful health workers stood nearby waiting for an escort to leave the centre. I need them get out of here," the health worker said of the crowd, which later dispersed. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
