An independent commission of inquiry published a devastating report for the Organization on September 28.
That document denounced that 21 WHO workers at the time of the events committed sexual assaults against dozens of people in the DRC during the Ebola epidemic between 2018 and 2020.
In detail, at least 63 women in the territory were abused by them. Meanwhile, some employees of the Congolese Ministry of Health and other non-governmental organizations, who allegedly were fighting the disease, were also involved.
