Photojournalism Daily: Nov. 17, 2014

2 minute read

Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Daniel Berehulak’s photographs of a Liberian family ravaged by Ebola. The pictures document the extended Doryen family that has lost seven members from three generations to the disease, demonstrating its devastating and deadly ramifications as relatives have cared for their sick and then contracted the virus themselves. The fear of contagion has raised divisions within families and turned upside-down one of the pillars of society there: touch.
