Ebola – Where are they now?

Two years ago the world was paralysed by fear of a deadly Ebola virus outbreak.

For most of us it means that two years later we still have to fill in a bunch of questions on “landing” cards at the airport.

What exactly happened and what is the situation in the affected areas now?

For that we asked World Vision Australia’s head of Humanitarian and Emergency Affairs, Daryl Crowden.

It has been two years since the ebola outbreak. What actually happened in 2014?
