Monrovia - Seven hundred Liberian Ebola workers took to the streets of the capital Monrovia for a second day on Saturday to demand promised hazard pay.
"We took risks so we deserve our benefits," demonstrators chanted as the protest began Friday, when they disrupted a ceremony during which French charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) was to hand over management of Liberia's main Ebola unit to the government.
"Tolbert Nyensuah give us our money," they said, referring to the head of the government's Ebola response team.
The workers hired by MSF, which has been in the forefront of the battle against the west African epidemic, on Saturday again blocked the entrance to Liberia's -- and the world's -- biggest Ebola facility.
