Millions of dollars are unaccounted for in Ebola response, officials say. This is what we know.

Africa’s top public health agency and Congolese officials said that over $700 million in Ebola aid is unaccounted for, and called on organizations to provide more information about their spending. This comes as the world’s fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record continues to outpace efforts, and the virus has spread into eight provinces in Congo and into neighboring countries, Kenya and Uganda. The revelations renew long-standing questions about transparency and accountability in Congo, a country battered by decades of major epidemics, including repeated Ebola outbreaks. Previous Ebola outbreaks were marked by allegations of corruption and mismanagement of funds.
