UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for more money to distribute Covid-19 vaccines to poor countries on Friday as the planet passed the “heart-wrenching milestone” of two million deaths from the disease.
The UN chief said rich nations are stockpiling vaccine supplies and called for funds for the Covax programme, co-led by the UN’s World Health Organisation, which supplies impoverished regions with cheap jabs.
“Vaccines are reaching high-income countries quickly, while the world’s poorest have none at all,” Mr Guterres said in a statement.
“We are committed to making sure that vaccines are seen as global public goods people’s vaccines.”
