The Ebola virus disease outbreak in 2014 has claimed the lives of many people. Pictures can show the horrible symptoms that the victims are suffering; they can also show us why this infection kept on happening which can shed light on the things that can be done to lessen the cases of tragedy.

Having a fatality rate of up to 90%, the Ebola Virus Disease (also called Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever) is believed to be one of the deadliest virus infection all over the world.
