AGIP was closed for a few hours. They are restricting access to essential personnel only but a large crowd wanted in. I would expect they wanted the security and access to the clinic after the latest E scare. Security forces were alerted, the gate closed, and mother nature brought in the downpour to disperse the mob.

The gate was reopened by evening.

There are still plenty of malaria cases ongoing at nearly all times as well. As for the stats, one is total deaths and one is rate. Both could be correct. Even a low rate will create a lot of deaths in a country with this many people!
