In Photos: Fighting Ebola in Liberia
Since the beginning of the West African Ebola outbreak in March this year, our colleagues at UNICEF Liberia have been working day and night to fight the fear, denial and misconceptions that are fueling the spread of the disease. These photos show some of the ways in which they’re reaching children and families with vital Ebola-prevention information.
