WHO to review Ebola response amid criticism of its efforts

But the United Nations health agency, which is among those leading the battle against a scourge that has claimed more than 4,500 lives in West Africa, declined to comment on a scathing internal document, cited in an Associated Press report, describing its response as botched and riddled with incompetence. "Nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall," WHO said in the document, according to the Associated Press. "A perfect storm was brewing, ready to burst open in full force." WHO called the leaked document a first draft that had not been fact-checked or reviewed by its staff as part of its continuing review of the response, CNN reports.
