The devastating impact of Ebola on the people in Monrovia, the Liberian capital

The devastating impact of Ebola on the people in Monrovia, the Liberian capital.

Gabriel Gatehouse reports from the Liberian capital Monrovia on the devastating impact of Ebola upon its people. In one case, a patient called Annie, 38, was discovered in her crowded shared house in harrowing conditions. She was taken away to hospital but disappeared into the system. Gabriel and his team go in search of Annie and along the way meet the medics and families on the front line of the Ebola crisis.
