Ebola puts Ghana's bush meat traders out of work

In this photo taken on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2014, Yaa Kyerewaa waits for clients as she stands next to her makeshift bush meat shop at one of the largest local markets in Accra, Ghana. This “bush meat” was once considered a delicacy and fetched premium prices but Ebola has frightened away customers and it has been many days since Kyerewaa sold anything, so she cuts a sullen figure as she stands beside a pile of animal parts including the jaws of giant rodents, the hooves of wild pigs and snails.
