The Don Béni Hospital located in SABA was attacked the night of Monday 21 to Tuesday, January 22, 2019. The destroyers were ready to burn this center before the intervention of the son of the nurse who managed to make them run away .
Door of the enclosure demolished, broken windows, flower boxes torn and scattered. It is in this state that was the hospital Don Beni de Saba the morning of Tuesday. They were three young people who said they would come to attack the agents of response who would be in this center, testifies the sentinel.
"They said they were coming to burn the center because they thought there were Ebola response agents. As a result, they broke the door and shouted loudly that they wanted to burn and want people to help them. At this moment, I'm at the door and I thought it's serious! I went straight to hide myself on the floor, because I risked leaving my life there. I could hear sounds from the broken windows. I was scared," he said.
MASIKA NDIKUVYO, nurse holder of the Don Beni center, regrets this uncivil behavior. She regrets that hosting the response team is causing her problems.
"During vaccination, the response agents feel safe at our health facility. And I welcome them to help fight this epidemic. I urge the authorities to ensure the security of my structure, even my property, but also to punish by law these thugs," she said.
It should be noted that KIMBULU quartermaster made a descent on the site. SEBASTIEN PALUKU promises to follow this case closely so that the culprits are punished.
