Kenya halts US Ebola facility, health minister tells court

Kenyan authorities have halted the construction of a US-funded Ebola treatment center following significant local opposition and violent protests that left three dead. The health minister testified in court that the unrest, which caught both the Kenyan and US governments off guard, has forced the suspension of the project. This move underscores the local communities' concerns about the facility, highlighting potential issues with public engagement and trust in international health initiatives. The incident raises questions about how such projects balance public safety and international health priorities.
