Entire Humanity at Risk-UN

The United Nations on Wednesday warned that the entire humanity is at as risk, as it launched a humanitarian response plan featuring a $2 billion appeal for the world’s poorest population. The coronavirus pandemic is threatening the entire human race, the United Nations warned.COVID-19 is threatening the whole of humanity — and the whole of humanity must fight back. Global action and solidarity are crucial. Individual country responses are not going to be enough,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in announcing the initiative. As the pandemic is spreading to more and more countries, killing thousands and infecting many more, Guterres warned that unless the world came together to fight the virus, millions of people could die. “We cannot afford to lose the gains we have made through investments in humanitarian action and in the Sustainable Development Goals, The amount of money sought by the plan is small compared to the $2 trillion that the US Congress is poised to approve as a rescue effort for devastated American consumers, companies and hospitals as the US economy grinds to a sudden halt.

The UN plan is designed to last from April to December — suggesting the UN does not see the crisis ending any time soon. The exact total of $2.012 billion is supposed to come from appeals that various UN agencies have already made, such as the World Health Organization and the World Food Program
