EBOLA: Heart Breaking Pictures From Liberia

 

A photographer, John Moore, risked his life and bravely traveled to Monrovia, Liberia, to take pictures and show the world what is really happening in Liberia. He also wanted to create pictures showcasing how families are being torn apart as a result of the deadly virus. 

International doctors have admitted  the disease is spreading faster than the response.

A medical worker on the frontline of tackling the disease in Liberia says response teams are unable to document all the cases  as many of the sick are being hidden at home rather than taken to Ebola treatment centres. More shocking photos below:
