Washington Seeks $1.4 Billion for Ebola Response as Kenya Halts Court-Challenged U.S. Quarantine Facility

The Trump administration has requested over $1.4 billion from Congress to fight the worst Ebola outbreak in a generation. A related issue is rising in Kenya due to a U.S.-backed quarantine centre; a court in Nairobi has ordered its construction to stop, but images show that work is continuing despite this order. The White House is asking for this funding as part of a larger request for $87.6 billion in supplemental funds.
