Reuters: WHO and UNICEF evacuate 76 staff from DRC




WHO and UNICEF evacuated 76 of their staff from Ebola teams working in the Beni area of the Congo due to rising insecurity in the area. Another 71 remain.

'Rebels believed to belong to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) killed eight people in an overnight raid on Sunday.

Residents angry at the perceived inaction of both the government and a U.N. peacekeeping mission then set fire to the mayor’s office and several U.N. buildings on Monday. At least two people were killed in clashes with police."
