"Dr. Bruce Aylward, who directed WHO’s outbreak response, racked up nearly $400,000 in travel expenses during the Ebola crisis, sometimes flying by helicopter to visit clinics instead of traveling by jeep over muddy roads, according to internal trip reports he filed."

If he needs to visit more than one site per day, the jeep is provably not workable. The next article we're likely to see is one saying the WHO had dropped off equipment and then left the locals with no instructions or coordination for weeks.

Also these are not safe areas. If you drive by road you will get stopped by bandits. It's certainly happened to me.
