At least one person has been killed during a demonstration protesting the construction of an Ebola quarantine centre in the Kenyan city of Nanyuki. The centre is set to host Americans who have been extracted from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where an outbreak is currently taking place. Kenya has never registered an Ebola case.

At least one person was shot as Kenyan police fought violent running battles with protesters Tuesday over an Ebola quarantine centre being built for US citizens in a tourist town.
