US continues building Ebola center in Kenya

Shafaqna English– Flight records and official sources indicate that around 20 planes transporting medical equipment and expert staff have arrived at a base in Kenya. The U.S. government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine site there, even though Kenyan courts have issued orders halting the work and protesters have voiced opposition.

The central Kenyan town of Nanyuki — home to the Kenyan air force base — has witnessed protests that resulted in the deaths of at least two people. At this base, U.S. forces are building a 50-bed facility for Americans who might have been exposed to the virus, which has sickened hundreds in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
