The World Health Organization has classified Kenya as a "high-risk" country for the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

世界卫生组织将肯尼亚列为伊波拉病毒传播的“高危”国家。

Kenya was vulnerable because it was a major transport hub, with many flights from West Africa, a WHO official said.

This is the most serious warning to date by the WHO that Ebola could spread to East Africa.

The number of people killed by Ebola in West Africa has risen to 1,069, the WHO said in its latest update.

Fifty-six deaths and 128 new cases were reported in the region in the two days to 11 August, it added.

Canada said it would donate up to 1,000 doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine¹ to help fight the outbreak.
