A Kenyan court has extended a block for three weeks on a proposed US Ebola quarantine facility, which has led to protests resulting in two deaths. The court also ordered the Kenyan government to reveal its agreement with Washington regarding the facility. The planned 50-bed unit, intended for Americans exposed to Ebola in the DRC or Uganda and located on an air force base, has angered many Kenyans who believe the US is transferring health risks. This latest court decision follows a temporary suspension last week in response to a lawsuit. Despite the legal challenges, US military aircraft have reportedly continued to transport staff and equipment to the site.
