Photojournalism Daily: Dec. 1, 2014

2 minute read

Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Daniel Berehulak’s continuing coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Berehulak had spent the last several months in Liberia for the New York Times, but this latest work comes from neighboring Sierra Leone, where the disease is raging with more than 1,800 new cases in November alone. Last week, the United Nations warned that Ebola cases in Sierra Leone would “soon eclipse” Liberia, which has been the hardest-hit nation in the outbreak. These heartbreaking pictures capture the death of a 16-year old girl in Kissi Town, near the capital Freetown, and remind us that the battle against the virus is far from over.
