Kenya Court Blocks US Ebola Facility as Congo Outbreak Strains Evacuation Options

Kenya's High Court suspended a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base pending legal proceedings, eliminating a key evacuation site as the Democratic Republic of Congo battles a rapidly accelerating outbreak. The suspension, triggered by violent protests that killed two people and a constitutional challenge by Kenya's Law Society, forces US health authorities to identify alternative regional capacity while containment pressures mount.
