The Associated Press has obtained a draft document from the World Health Organization in which the U.N. group reportedly admits its Ebola shortcomings.

"Nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall," the WHO apparently said in the document. "A perfect storm was brewing, ready to burst open in full force." The document blames the WHO's "botched attempts" to stop Ebola's spread in West Africa on "incompetent staff" and "a lack of information," AP notes.
