On the front line of the Ebola epidemic (World 2020, by Muse Mohammed) - Swiss Press Award

Petite Barriere is one of two border crossings connecting the densely-populated city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Rwanda. More than 65,000 people pass through this point daily, mainly for trade and economic activities. Health screening points are located at official border crossings where travellers are monitored for symptoms of Ebola and instructed to wash their hands to promote good hygiene and prevent the spread of the virus.

On the front line of the Ebola epidemic

Muse Mohammed

Over the past year, Ebola has killed over 2,000 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo across its Ituri and North Kivu provinces.

Combatting the spread of the virus, and overcoming the deep-seated myths and superstitions surrounding it, means gaining the support of everyone - from Ebola survivors and travel agents to preachers and bus drivers.
