Liberian police depart after firing shots in the air while trying to protect an Ebola burial team in the West Point slum in Monrovia, Liberia, Aug. 16, 2014. A crowd of several hundred local residents, chanting, "No Ebola in West Point," drove away the burial team and their police escort. The mob then forced open an Ebola isolation ward and took the patients out, many saying that the Ebola epidemic is a hoax. The isolation center, a closed primary school originally built by USAID, was being used by the Liberian health ministry to temporarily isolate people suspected of carrying the virus. Some 10 patients had "escaped" the building the night before, according to a nurse, as the center had no medicine to treat them.
