The Red Cross has confirmed that more than $5m (£3.8m) of aid money was lost to fraud and corruption during the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Auditors found overpriced supplies, salaries for non-existent aid workers and fake customs bills.
The disease, which raged between 2014 and 2016, claimed at least 10,000 lives.
It required a massive humanitarian operation costing hundreds of millions of dollars to bring it under control.

“lost” ?
Progressive politicians and activists no doubt found it in their pockets.
Lost? Gee, if that happened to me, I wonder if the IRS would give me a break? There is no losing 5 MILLION DOLLARS!
Still run exactly as Elizabeth Dole ran it.
With everyonetop to bottom scamming their share.
And crying to the public that there is a crisis, please give more.
Oh well. What’s a few lost millions here & there?
"...$5M lost..."
Where there’s leftist do-gooderism and money there’s fraud, and many times it seems as if the fraud is more the intention than anything else. But don’t you dare question their intentions.
Donated to Clinton’s?
LOL!
Fraud & thievery in Africa? Who would have thunk it!
Only $5 million? That’s chump change compared to what they collected and stole in Haiti and probably now in PR and Texas too
But these self righteous a/ holes think they’re too good to hold their annual gala at mar-a-lago and basically dissed Pres Trump and Melania who have been huge supporters and honorary chair
That's so minor league. The clintons ripped off the poor haitian people $14 billions and no one can survive her murderous firewall she has in place to protect her from prosecution (YET!). However I do believe in the Word of God in psalms 37:34
oops sorry 5 million lost, no repercussions, no responsibility no nothing.
Five million $$ .? That’s chickenfeed to the Red Cross.
Bet the charity officers spend more than that on parties and trips.
Not lost, funneled into off shore bank accounts. We’ve been highly aware of their shady dealings since 9/11..but it goes back to WW 2 at least. Charging Troops for coffee and donuts, other orgs gave out FREE.
