29 Ebola patients escape after attack

Armed men attacked an Ebola isolation ward in the
Liberian capital Monrovia Saturday night, prompting
29 patients to flee the facility, witnesses said
yesterday.
"They broke down the doors and looted the place.
The patients all fled," said Rebecca Wesseh, who
witnessed the attack and whose report was
confirmed by residents and the head of Health
Workers Association of Liberian, George Williams.
The Kenyan government at the weekend said it would
bar passengers travelling from Sierra Leone, Guinea
and Liberia.
The suspension is effective midnight tomorrow for all
ports of entry for people travelling from or through
the countries, said Kenya's Health Ministry. Nigeria
was not included in the ban, which also allows entry
to health professionals and Kenyans returning from
those countries.
