US kit, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests
The U.S. is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility in Kenya despite a court order and ongoing protests. Medical equipment and specialists have arrived at the site, which has faced significant opposition from the local population. The Kenyan government is under pressure as it navigates public dissent and rising fuel prices while attempting to manage the Ebola threat.
- ▪Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialists have landed at a Kenyan air force base for an Ebola quarantine facility.
- ▪Protests against the facility have resulted in at least two fatalities in Nanyuki, where the base is located.
- ▪A Kenyan court ordered work on the facility to be suspended, but U.S. military flights continued to arrive afterward.
