GENEVA (Reuters) - A U.N. investigation into the World Health Organization's managerial mishandling of a sex scandal in the Democratic Republic of Congo found that allegations against senior staff were "unsubstantiated," the health agency chief said on Tuesday.
Dozens of aid workers including some from the WHO were involved in sexual abuse and exploitation during an Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo, an independent commission found in 2021 after victims' stories surfaced in the media.
