UN calls for extra funds to help vulnerable states www.nhk.or.jp
The United Nations has called for 6.7 billion dollars in additional funds to help vulnerable countries and territories cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
The global body made the emergency appeal on Thursday, building on its 2-billion dollar plan launched in March.
The project supplies medicine and food to countries and territories with weak healthcare systems, such as developing states and nations where conflicts are taking place.
As of Tuesday, Japan, the United States and other countries had contributed 923 million dollars to the program, which is currently playing out in 54 nations.
The UN wants to use the extra funds to strengthen existing measures and provide support for nine other nations, including Mozambique and Pakistan.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a video news conference that the money is needed to save millions of lives in vulnerable places and to stop the virus from circling back around the globe.
