A Kenyan court ​blocked on Tuesday for another three weeks a proposed United States (US) Ebola quarantine facility that has triggered protests killing two ‌people.

The proposed 50-bed unit on an air force base in central Kenya for Americans exposed to the virus in Democratic Republic of Congo or Uganda has angered many Kenyans.

They accuse the US of offloading the health risk of caring for patients.

A Kenyan court last week temporarily suspended the plan in response to ​a lawsuit from a legal advocacy group.

However, US military aircraft have continued to fly in staff and equipment in ​recent days, according to a US official and diplomatic sources.

Kenyan High Court Judge Patricia Nyaundi on Tuesday ⁠issued an order barring the Kenyan government from taking any steps to build or begin operations at the facility in the town ​of Nanyuki before the case is resolved.

She scheduled the next hearing for June 23.

The US State Department did not immediately respond to ​a request for comment.
