The World Health Organization is $1.3 billion short of what it expects it will need in 2020 to fight the coronavirus

The World Health Organization says it is currently $1.3 billion short of what it expects it will need this year to fight the coronavirus pandemic and is looking for donors to fill the gap as the U.S. government threatens to cut funding.

The WHO projects that it will require around $1.7 billion to fight the pandemic through the end of the year, but so far has raised a little more than $400 million from governments and charitable organizations around the world, according to a new report from the organization. An additional $300...

China should be forced to pay for all of it.

No one except China should pay for WHO, as it is China’s puppet anyway

Tedros can pay from millions of $ bribe he took from CCP. Frankly he is a disgrace to humanity should be booted out of WHO. USA will not pay a penny till the marxist that he is kicked out.

Since when is the WHO fighting the coronavirus?

They need 1.3 billion more just to advise us that there is a coronavirus and to expect more deaths? I wish I had 1.3 billion just to tell people there going to die someday.

Go get it from China!

Go to your friends in China for the cash! Good luck.

Just a projection perhaps becoming more efficient will save money

Seems like a wasteful, corrupt organization.

Praise China harder and you'll get the money... Or criticize Trump harder may also work a little bit...

Correction: WHO Projects $1.3 Billion Shortfall in Travel Funds

Call China for the shortfall.

The bank is closed for them! Give the money to the pantries to feed the Hungry people!

Yet they pay Chelsea Clinton

No funding until the quack, Tedros, resigns! This idiot should be locked up for the death he spread throughout the world.

90% of WHO's experts are from U.S. and U.S. is attacking this organization because of its own response problems. MAGA

American is $20 billion short on helping it's own citizens live in this CoronavirusPandemic... loveandHUNDREDS

Shortfall of leadership.

Elitist Bureaucrats requesting more $ to accomplish nothing. No surprise there. Results are never a part of the bureaucratic agenda but more $ is

And this was in 2017...” WHO is plagued by persistent wasteful spending, utter disregard for transparency, pervasive incompetence, and failure to adhere to even basic democratic standards.”

Go ask the Chinese to make up the difference since they created the Wuhan virus!

Do you think the world health organization is a paragon of fiscal responsibility?

Always short of something- and it’s usually money

CHINA!!

Travel economy and stay budget hotel

Get every country to pay their fair share and support them.

Instead of sending any more money to back a useless organization like WHO we can hire experts from S.Korea , Taiwan , Hong Kong and Even Vietnam to form a team, formulate a plan to effectively fight the virus based on their experience , I am sure this is the better investment.

The waste at the WHO has been known for years, let someone else fund this fraud

Let them get it from China...

WHO has proven to be a useless organization. It’s point was to help prevent a pandemic like this from happening. Instead they sided with communist China to hide information. I hope they are destroyed

Yes, WHO needs that funding now, those honest officials totally require 5 star hotel stays and business class travel perks, then comes helping the worlds poor and needy

Put that on China’s tab.

Ask China. ChinaLiedPeopleDied

1.3 billion less work.

Here's an idea..go ask China.

They are incapable of fighting anything.

Good. Maybe WHO will file for bankruptcy like the scores of business have had to do due to WHO’s negligence and complicity with China.

Since the world has pandemics regularly, what good does WHO do? People want results for their money

Try China, they created this mess.....

Tell China

The WHO spends more on travel than it does on medical supplies. It’s a bloated organization that’s notoriously squandered cash for decades. At one point it even spent more on travel than it did on the world’s top infectious diseases combined. Boohoo.

Please speak to CHI-na about any $$ needs.

Wondering what specifically does the WHO perform that actually is hands on fighting the Chinese virus. Does the WHO have hundreds of doctors, nurses, scientists doing research on its payroll? Or does it just compile reports based on data fed to it by nations?

China and the W.H.O. Lied MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE DIED

They can get it from China.

What an utter and complete waste of money to a worthless organization

The WHO could save some money and face if they got rid of their leader! 😝

They are not our friends… Their agenda is not like ours

Stop spending on frivolous waste! Like meetings and trips and fine dining etc etc etc. These people need to be managed !!

They actually have a plan?

Tough

Ask Uncle Bill Gates for it.

let me introduce you to the CCP - they’re great

JustSayNope Has anyone checked Tedros Adhanom's current account!

Gotcha.

more first class flights and five star hotel stays? nice

following the membership rules n resolve issues via international democratic routes, Not Trump Dictator way

DrTedros licks Beijing's boots at every turn, surely Xi will cough up the $1.2B shortage. The CCP intentionally unleashed pandemic hell onto the world & they won’t miss PR opportunities to showcase their benevolence. Win-win cooperation! Let’s show some gratitude. 🇺🇸+🇹🇼=💪🏼

Np. You have ccp which will provide 2 billion

What the hell did they do other than misinformation

W.H.O. Ask China for the money!

The WHO should be dismissed, do nothing but asking for money

WHO were totally complicit and are totally compromised! They need to be investigated and totally reorganised.

Not worth 5 cents.

repercussions

Dr. Tedros must ask his master to pay.

Collect it from CHINA

Let me guess: to compensate executive salary and annual bonuses?

Get China to pay.

Good. Hopefully that corrupt organization goes bankrupt.

If they had been honest with the world, they would not have needed so much.

How does WHO fight viruses? Do they perform hard science? Are they administrative resource consuming middlemen duplicating what other resource consuming activist nonprofits already do?

Anyone think its shameless how the longer they let the virus go, the more funding they get? Hmmmm. And how do they put a price on it when they haven't got a clue?

I’m sure the Chinese Communist regime is glad to help

Talk to their Chinese sponsors.

the more luxury fly ticket or hotel, the less shortage of money. that why WHO need reform

They should call their sugardaddy China

Well if they wouldn’t have lied for China they wouldn’t need a third of that because all other countries would have known and shut down their country

If only 50 cents of each dollar, that is not going to the WHO, is used to fight the coronavirus, we might see better results much faster

China will give

It's not doing a f'ing thing for me to 'fight coronavirus', we owe them nothing

Ask China

Thank you realDonaldTrump

Quel dommage!

Paging JeffBezos

The virus is over, like every pandemic occurrence. We have to live with it, like with every other virus, we can't wait for a vaccine. There will be no money if the U.S. doesn't open all businesses slowly, but steadily.

I'm sure Mr.Gates will play his 'Holy Than Thou Saviour' Role

China must pay WHO NOW

Hahahaha. Good for those morons.

Trump Threatens to Permanently Cut Funding to World Health OrganizationPresident Trump threatened to permanently cut off funding to the World Health Organization and revoke U.S. membership if the group doesn’t make a series of changes meant to curb what he called its pro-China bias. As soon as he's kicked out, Biden had better reverse everything he's done. As much as I don't like him..this is a good move. Hopefully, whatever he does will be overturned soon by a new, more prone to facts and truths President. Looks better and better by the day.
