Key Facts
The settlement. Kenya’s nurses ended their strike after 41 days, signing a return-to-work formula with the Council of Governors that lifts the monthly risk allowance to Ksh8,000 and adds a Ksh5,000 uniform allowance — about US$100 in total at the shilling’s current rate of roughly 129 to the dollar — with nurses due back on the wards within 24 hours.
The count. The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Bundibugyo-strain Ebola outbreak reached 6,757 confirmed cases and 3,267 deaths in the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 7 September tally, with no licensed vaccine and the United Nations’ coordinator in the country warning that half of all deaths have come in the last 20 days.
