Outbreak—Ebola

"Odoch Walter [seated], 21, was vomiting blood. An
ambulance driver is spraying him before he puts him in the
vehicle. In case he did have Ebola, they were trying to keep
him and the ambulance ‘clean.'
"To be sprayed like that in the face, by this person who's
completely covered in plastic and rubber and treats you as a
threat to their life—it's all pretty horrible. He died two
days later."
—Photographer Seamus Murphy

"I definitely wanted to include the villagers in this picture. I
do have shots of Walter alone, but I think this works far
better, because when we arrived, he was totally separated, in
the middle of this little square, under the tree. And there's a
little boy on the right—he's keeping his distance.
Everyone's a little bit worried that this man has got the evil
disease."
