Cuban volunteers who travelled to Sierra Leone still haven't started work. "They're staring into space. They didn't come for this. If they'd wanted to go on vacation, they could have stayed in Cuba." A nurse, "F," who didn't want to reveal his name, is one of the 165 doctors and nurses sent by Cuba to fight Ebola. They came as volunteers to help, to "save the world" from the worst health crisis since the outbreak of HIV. Instead they spend their days hanging around the swimming pool.

"When they called for volunteers to go to Sierra Leone, they called me and said I had to be in Havana in two days..."

"They gave us conferences with American and British doctors, and WHO experts. We also built a campaign hospital. We thought we'd sleep in tents. Then they told us we'd be in a hotel...now it's been over a month..."

In the district of Port Loko up the coast there are reports of people dying on verandahs and corpses rotting in homes. One woman lies dead on the floor of a hospital after a struggle to give birth. There are no labs, isolation or treatment units in the district. The Cuban doctors who had been due to work in a new clinic in Port Loko sit frustrated in a Freetown hotel after the NGO assigned to manage the facility pulled out....

What NGO and if true, did they solicit donations for work against Ebola and what happened to those funds?
