Blue Room. August 2014. Omu Fahnbulleh stands over her husband Ibrahim after he fell, knocking him unconscious in an Ebola holding center set up in a school classroom on August 15, 2014 in the West Point township of Monrovia, Liberia. He died the same day. In August 2014 Monrovia, Liberia became the epicenter of the West African Ebola epidemic, the worst in history. At great personal risk, Getty Images staff photographer John Moore was the first photojournalist to extensively document the spread of the epidemic in Liberia. His photos, which were published widely on American and international front pages, have been credited with adding a sense of urgency to the international response.
