    Tommy Trenchard, Sierra Leone

15 year old Shackie Kamara lies in the road with bullet wounds in his legs
during rioting in West Point slum in the Liberian capital, Monrovia. The
riots followed a move by the government to quarantine the community to
prevent the spread of Ebola. Kamara died the next day, unable to find
emergency treatment in a city whose healthcare system has all but
collapsed under the strain of Ebola.
