# Editorials demand accountability in Grenfell fire and international aid for DRC Ebola

The Guardian's editorial board publishes two pieces: one condemning the UK government for allowing companies to evade responsibility in the Grenfell Tower fire, and another framing the DRC Ebola outbreak as a case study in why international aid matters. Both editorials highlight the need for systemic accountability and global cooperation in responding to major crises.
