Seven Ebola workers and journalists killed in Guinea 

Officials in Guinea have confirmed the death of six health workers, including three journalists.

The team went missing while trying to raise awareness on Ebola. Reports say they went missing after being attacked on Tuesday in a village near the southern part of Guinea.

The three doctors and journalists disappeared after being pelted with stones by residents when they arrived in the village of Wome – near where the Ebola outbreak was first recorded.

One of the journalists managed to escape and told reporters she could hear the villagers looking for them while she was hiding.

A government delegation, led by the health minister, has been dispatched to the region but they were unable to reach the village by road because the main bridge had been blocked.
