Listen to this article
Seven American people are aid workers. They help sick people. They were in Congo to fight Ebola. Now, they are in Kenya. They stay in a special place called a quarantine facility. This is because the US government has new rules. These rules stop people from traveling easily from some places. The aid workers cannot go home right now.
A leader from their charity talks about this. He says these workers are the first people to use this new isolation facility. But many people in Kenya do not like this place. There is a lot of disagreement about it. A court even says to stop building it. But the building work still continues. US officials and pictures from space show this.
The workers need to stay there to be safe. They stay there to make sure they do not have Ebola. This helps keep everyone safe. They cannot travel to the US yet because of the travel restrictions. So, they wait in Kenya at this special facility.
