Ebeye est l'ile la plus peuplée de l'atoll Kwajalein des Îles Marshall. 12 000 habitants[1] vivent sur une surface d'environ 32 hectares (c'est-à-dire un cinquième de la population totale du pays). Ebeye faisait partie du protectorat allemand de la Nouvelle-Guinée allemande de 1884 à 1919. Certains habitants d'Ebeye sont des victimes ou des descendants de victimes des radiations de l'essai nucléaire Castle Bravo, la bombe H la plus puissante jusqu'ici testée par les États-Unis le 1er mars 1954. Les autorités américaines ont évacué Rongelap, et la plupart se sont installés à Ebeye.
