Karen Grepin, a professor of global health policy at New York University, used an aid tracking system hosted by the United Nations to find that only $1.09 billion of the world's pledges were made available by December 31, 2014 to the region of western Africa where the outbreak was at its worst.

Glassman adds that the fact that two-thirds of the promised aid has so far been delivered struck her as positive. She says she wishes there had been data available comparing the delivery of aid for Ebola to that of other crises.
