US kit, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests
- The U.S. is building a 50‑bed Ebola quarantine at a Kenyan airbase in Nanyuki, and work continued despite a court order and local protests that have left at least two people dead.
- About 20 flights have brought medical staff and equipment (no patients so far); the plan would quarantine high‑risk U.S. nationals for 21 days.
- President Ruto says the facility is preparedness and part of a U.S. health partnership, but public opposition is growing and the U.S. embassy says it’s working with Kenya to resolve objections.
