GBARNGA Liberia (Reuters) - Deep in a Liberian bush, two U.S. nurses are taking a break after spending two hours wearing protective suits in stifling temperatures to care for patients suffering from Ebola, the viral killer that has ravaged three West African countries.

Well behind them in the treatment unit's "red zone" two young boys, Solomon and Joe, who is wearing SpongeBob SquarePants pajama pants, stand at a neon orange fence waving. Solomon is on day 13 of his treatment and Joe is on day 8.
