Twenty-nine Ebola patients in isolation ward, in the Liberian capital Monrovia, were forced to flee the facility, as armed men attacked them overnight, witnesses said Sunday.


"They broke down the doors and looted the place. The patients all fled," said Rebecca Wesseh, who witnessed the attack and whose report was confirmed by residents and the head of Health Workers Association of Liberian, George Williams.
