Woman, 65, becomes second patient to die of Ebola in Kenya

Kenya has recorded its second death from Ebola as it handles its first ever outbreak of the disease. A woman, aged 65, who was a close family member of the first victim, a man who had travelled from the Democratic Republic of Congo, died after being placed in quarantine, the health ministry said. Seven other Ebola patients were receiving treatment at two isolation facilities, it added. All the cases were within "one cluster, with no evidence of community spread", the ministry said. More than 4,000 people have died in Africa since Ebola was confirmed in DR Congo in May, making it the second most deadly outbreak of the disease.
