Kenya Halts Ebola Quarantine Plan
Description
A U.S.-backed Ebola quarantine plan in Kenya hit a legal wall when a Kenyan court blocked its opening, citing public safety risks. Originally meant to safely transport American patients from Congo’s deadly Bundibugyo outbreak to Europe, the facility faced fierce local backlash and legal challenges from rights group Katiba Institute, which demanded transparency from Kenya’s health ministry. A judge ordered no Ebola-exposed travelers into Kenya and halted the facility until a June hearing — all while the world watches as no approved vaccine exists for this strain, and treatments remain experimental.
