Protesters in Ituri Province, DR Congo, set fire to an Ebola treatment center on May 21, 2026, after authorities refused to release the body of a young man who died from the disease. The attack — part of a pattern of community resistance during DRC's 17th Ebola outbreak, which has now reached approximately 600 suspected cases and 148 deaths — exposes deep tensions between public health protocols for safe burials and the cultural rights of bereaved families in a region already scarred by decades of armed conflict and institutional neglect.
