The Viral Insurgent: Ebola in Sierra Leone
Info

Ebola Virus for National Geographic Magazine

Molai Kamara, approximately 12 years old, sits alone following a discharge ceremony for Ebola survivors at the Hastings Ebola Treatment Center in Hastings, Sierra Leone on Saturday, November 29, 2014. While excitement buzzed outside as the other 55 survivors received food supplies and boarded buses to return home, Molai sat alone, still sick with other ailments and with nowhere to go. According to doctors at Hastings, Molai lost his entire family to the Ebola virus. He was unconscious for the first two weeks of his time in the Hastings treatment center. While he eventually tested negative for Ebola, he continues to suffer from ulcers and has great difficulty walking. While fellow survivors returned home, Molai was transferred to a nearby hospital where he will receive additional care while administrators search for caregivers.
