WHO says attacks on ambulances affecting DRC Ebola response

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that ambulances are being regularly attacked by local communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where an Ebola outbreak is currently taking place. This violence is hindering the WHO's efforts to respond to the outbreak effectively. The attacks on ambulances are a significant concern because they can prevent patients from receiving medical care in a timely manner, potentially exacerbating the spread of the disease.
