The second most moving image of 2014 on Getty Images – as voted by the global public – is another heart rending photo by award-winning Getty Images photographer John Moore.
In this tragic photo, a woman crawls towards the body of her sister as Ebola burial team members take her for cremation on October 10, 2014 in Monrovia, Liberia. Photo taken by John Moore
The sister had died outside her home earlier in the morning while trying to walk to a treatment center, according to her relatives.
The burial of loved ones is important in Liberian culture, making the removal of infected bodies for cremation all the more traumatic for surviving family members.
The World Health Organization says the Ebola epidemic has now killed more than 4,000 people in West Africa.
