The Ebola epidemic in West Africa has been the worst in history, claiming more than 10,000 lives. To convey the scale of the outbreak, The Times has mobilized dozens of reporters, photographers, video journalists and others over the last year, producing more than 400 articles, including about 50 front-page articles from inside the Ebola-afflicted countries. Following is a sample of their work.

    In the battle against Ebola, the front line is stitched together not only by doctors and nurses, but also by janitors, drivers and body handlers whose work puts their lives at risk.

    For a fleeting moment last spring, the epidemic sweeping West Africa might have been stopped. But the opportunity to control the virus, which has now caused more than 7,800 deaths, was lost.

    Ebola is sweeping into areas of West Africa that had been largely spared the onslaught. The consequences in one Sierra Leone hospital have been devastating.

    Some Ebola patients still die at a Sierra Leone hospital, but just as many, if not more, are dying in the city and neighboring villages, increasing the risk of the disease’s spread.

    The epidemic has exposed gaping holes in the ability to tackle outbreaks in an increasingly interconnected world, where diseases can quickly spread from remote villages to cities housing millions of people.
