Six patients were receiving treatment in the medical tents at the time of the attack and were later moved to the hospital, according to ALIMA, the humanitarian organization that operated the facility. A health care worker was injured by stone-throwing protesters before law enforcement intervened.

Local officials attributed the unrest in part to widespread misinformation, with many residents in Ituri province believing Ebola does not exist. "For a certain segment of the population, especially in remote areas, Ebola is an invention by outsiders," said local politician Luc Mambele.

The DRC's health ministry reported 159 probable deaths and 626 suspected cases as of Thursday. The outbreak, caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola for which no approved vaccine or treatment exists, was officially declared on May 15.

The M23 rebel group confirmed a new Ebola case in Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province, marking the outbreak's spread beyond Ituri. The patient, a 28-year-old who had traveled from Kisangani, died before his diagnosis was confirmed.

The M23 rebel group confirmed the first Ebola case in South Kivu province on May 21, involving a 28-year-old who had traveled from Kisangani and died before his diagnosis was confirmed. A separate confirmed case was also reported in Goma, the largest city in eastern DRC, which M23 also controls.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak likely began several months before it was officially declared, with a critical four-week gap between the first recorded symptomatic case on April 24 and laboratory confirmation. The Bundibugyo strain could only be confirmed after samples were transported over 1,700 kilometers to a lab in Kinshasa.

The UN's WFP warned the outbreak is compounding an already severe humanitarian crisis, with 26.5 million people across the DRC facing acute food insecurity. Within 72 hours of the outbreak's declaration, WHO delivered 11.5 tonnes of medical supplies from Kinshasa and regional hubs in Dakar and Nairobi.
