A UN report released on Thursday said some 32 million people could be pushed to extreme poverty this year by the pandemic. The UN has tried to address the consequences, providing humanitarian assistance to millions of people. The UN chief has also pressured the adoption of a stimulus package worth at least 10 per cent of it Global GDP and debt relief for all in need.

The global death toll from Corleone has reached over 1.5 million, while the number of cases has reached over 65 million, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

Dispersement of first approved vaccines COVID-19 is expected to begin this month. Guterres has repeatedly called for an equal approach to coronary vaccines for all countries.

In late April, WHO, along with public and private partners, launched the ACT-Accelerator and COVAX initiative for vaccines. The initiative is focused on creating conditions for equal access to tests, treatments and vaccines for all countries of the world. The UN chief, however, said there was a $28 billion lack of financing, including $4.3 billion urgently needed for the next two months.

Among the leaders who spoke at the summit was European Union President Charles Michel, who suggested that countries sign a pandemic treaty to improve the response to global pandemics in the future.

“What should be the objective of this treaty? Target must be a better reply”, He said. Let's do a better job in all areas in which we've noticed that we need to strengthen our co-operation. ”
