Liberia Battles Spreading Ebola Epidemic

MONROVIA, LIBERIA - AUGUST 16: A crowd speaks through the gates of an Ebola isolation center before pushing their way inside in the West Point slum on August 16, 2014 in Monrovia, Liberia. A crowd of several hundred people, chanting, "No Ebola in West Point," crashed through the gates and took out the patients, many saying that the Ebola epidemic is a hoax. The center, a closed primary school originally built by USAID, was being used by the Liberian health ministry to temporarily isolate people suspected of carrying the virus. Some 10 patients had "escaped" the building the night before, according to a nurse, as the center had no medicine to treat them. The Ebola epidemic has killed more than 1,000 people in four West African countries, with Liberia now having the most deaths. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
