Rebels in Democratic Republic of Congo are attacking health centers and medical staff, in part due to suspicion of Westerners.
The violence is making the situation worst second-deadliest outbreak of the highly contagious disease.
Ms. Kiyangaliya, 33-year-old hairdresser, is in an extraordinary passion to help patients with Ebola.
As a survivor herself few months ago, she is now immune, allowing her to have close contact with the afflicted, but there is still the risk of getting infected.

A group of men firing AK-47s attacked the treatment center where she was working.

“Get them, those are the workers!” the armed men yelled. Ms. Kiyangaliya scrambled over a fence, eventually finding refuge in a neighbor’s house.

Question is, What was the reason behind the attacks in the treatment centers?
