A 65-year-old woman has died of Ebola in Kenya, becoming the second patient to lose her life to the virus in the country. She was a close family member of the first victim, a man who had travelled to Kenya from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The back-to-back deaths point to transmission within the family, raising questions about how quickly health authorities can contain further spread among those who were in close contact with both patients.
Kenya is now watching carefully to see who else may have been exposed.
