He spent five years in Kabul covering the Afghanistan war, five years as Defence Correspondent in London, and four years in Islamabad 3:54pm BST The United States has urged citizens to reconsider travel to Kenya, raising its travel alert level after the country reported an eighth case of Ebola.
这个东非国家已记录了一系列病例，均与一名从刚果民主共和国（DRC）旅行归来后死亡的肯尼亚商人有关。
The East African nation has recorded a rash of cases linked to a Kenyan businessman who died after travelling from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
“由于健康风险，级别已从2级调整为3级，”美国驻肯尼亚大使馆表示。此前一天，美国国务院刚刚发布了针对本国公民的最新旅行建议。
“The level was changed from Level 2 to Level 3 due to health risks,” the US embassy in Kenya said, a day after the State Department issued renewed travel advice for its citizens.
“由于健康、犯罪、绑架、恐怖主义、骚乱和交通安全方面的风险，请重新考虑前往肯尼亚的旅行。部分地区的风险有所增加，”声明说。
“Reconsider travel in Kenya due to risk of health, crime, kidnapping, terrorism, unrest and traffic safety. Some areas have increased risk,” it said.
这一警示发布之际，肯尼亚医生领袖们正要求提供更好的防护装备，以应对这种高度传染性的病毒。
The alert came as Kenyan doctors leaders demanded better protective equipment against the highly infectious virus.
据报道，三例确诊病例是曾照料该商人的医护人员，其余病例据信是探望过他的亲属。
Three of the confirmed Ebola cases are reported to be health staff who cared for the businessman and the others are thought to be relatives who visited him.
在肯尼亚与乌干达边境的布西亚，已设立埃博拉筛查措施。卫生工会表示，不应因防护装备不足而迫使医护人员冒生命危险，他们还对人手短缺和医院缺乏准备表示担忧。
Ebola screening measures have been set up in Busia, on the Kenya-Uganda border Health unions have said staff should not be forced to put their lives at risk because of inadequate protective gear and have also raised concerns of short-staffing and a lack of preparedness in hospitals.
埃博拉病毒通过接触呕吐物、血液和唾液等体液传播，照料患者的医护人员或近亲尤其容易受到感染。
The Ebola virus is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids such as vomit, blood and saliva, and health workers or close relatives tending to the sick are particularly prone to getting infected themselves.
肯尼亚医学会主席易卜拉欣·马滕德博士表示：“每一位医护人员都理应拥有安全的工作环境，并能及时获得最高标准的医疗服务。”肯尼亚的这些病例也引发了人们对当地生物安全和监测的质疑。此前，首例病例——一名居住在刚果民主共和国东部的肯尼亚公民——在明显病情日益加重并出现类似埃博拉症状的情况下，仍搭乘航班并跨越国际边境。
Dr Ibrahim Matende, president of the Kenya Medical Association, said: “Every healthcare worker deserves a safe working environment and timely access to the highest standard of care.”The cases in Kenya have also raised questions about biosecurity and surveillance in the region after the index case – a Kenyan national living in eastern DRC – took flights and crossed international borders despite apparently becoming increasingly ill and showing Ebola-like symptoms.
这名商人身体不适已有两周，10月1日，他登上了从基桑加尼飞往贝尼的国内航班，随后继续前往繁忙的边境城镇卡辛迪。
The businessman had been unwell for two weeks when on October 1 he boarded a domestic flight from Kisangani to Beni, before continuing his journey to Kasindi, a busy border town.
贝尼和卡辛迪都位于北基伍省，该省近几周已成为此次疫情的主要热点地区之一。
Both Beni and Kasindi are in North Kivu, which has in recent weeks become one of the outbreak’s main hotspots.
越境进入乌干达后，他乘车前往首都坎帕拉，随后抵达恩德培国际机场，并于10月3日在那里登上飞往内罗毕的航班。乌干达迄今尚未报告任何病例。
Crossing over into Uganda, he then travelled by road to the capital, Kampala, and then Entebbe International Airport, where he boarded a flight to Nairobi on October 3. Uganda has not reported any cases so far.
一名亲属接上他，开车将他送往私立的内罗毕医院，当时他正发烧、发冷、肌肉疼痛、喉咙痛并伴有出血。
A relative collected him and drove him to the private Nairobi Hospital, while he was suffering with fever, chills, muscle pain, a sore throat and bleeding.

The sanitisation point for travellers to wash their hands before entering Kenya immigration services Meanwhile, Africa’s top public health agency and Congolese officials have raised concerns that over $700 million in Ebola aid is unaccounted for, and called on aid groups to provide more information about their finances, Associated Press reported.
非洲疾病控制与预防中心主任让·卡塞亚博士上周表示，自5月中旬宣布疫情暴发以来，国际捐助者已向刚果民主共和国东部的援助组织转移了近10亿美元。但在当地开展工作的国际和地方组织仅说明了2亿美元的去向。
Dr Jean Kaseya, director general of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, said last week that international donors had transferred close to a billion dollars to aid organisations in eastern DRC since the outbreak was declared in mid-May. But only $200 million has been accounted for by international and local organisations working on the ground.
卡塞亚博士表示，只有三分之一的组织参加了刚果卫生部近期组织的一次会议并提供了财务记录。
Only one-third of the organisations attended a recent meeting organised by Congo’s health ministry and provided their financial records, Dr Kaseya said.
与会者表示，他们共收到了 2.28 亿美元的资金，其中 1.27 亿美元已经支出，剩余约 1 亿美元尚未使用。卡塞亚博士并未指明哪些组织未能提供相关财务记录。
Those attending said they received $228 million, of which $127 million had been spent and around $100 million remained available. Dr Kaseya did not identify which organisations had not provided their records.
非洲疾病控制与预防中心（Africa CDC）表示：“这明显反映出这些组织在透明度及财务报告方面存在严重问题，导致政府无法全面了解所调动的资源、这些资源的使用情况以及最终取得的成果。”
“This represents a significant lack of transparency and financial reporting on the part of these organisations, preventing the Government from having a comprehensive overview of the resources mobilised, how they were utilised and the results achieved,” the Africa CDC said.
该机构进一步强调：“对于那些获得数亿美元用于应对公共卫生紧急事件的组织来说，如果它们不向负责协调应对工作的国家当局提供透明、详细的财务报告，这种行为是不可接受的。”
“It is unacceptable for organisations to receive hundreds of millions of dollars to intervene in a country facing a major health emergency without providing a transparent account to the national authorities responsible for coordinating the response.
