By Lillian Radulova for Daily Mail Australia An Australian camera crew have captured endearing footage of the devastating effect of the Ebola virus in one of the hardest hit areas of Sierra Leone. The team of journalists, who were the last camera crew in the area before a government lock down forced them to leave, were recording the stories of a number of Australian volunteers working alongside the infected and their families at an emergency centre near the borders of Liberia and Guinea. Since the most recent outbreak in March of this year, the Ebola virus has killed more than 1427 people in West Africa, according to the World Health Organisation. This figure continues to grow and appears to be close to dwarfing the total number of deaths recorded in outbreaks between 1976 and 2012; 1590.

But amongst the tragedy there are stories of remarkable survival, including a little two-and-a-half-year old girl who lost 17 members of her family to @placeholder but endured and conquered the illness herself.
