WHO Resorts to Begging for Donations Online After Trump Swipes Funding

by

Just days after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), a senior WHO leader turned to social media begging for donations.

Maria Van Kerkhove, a leading infectious disease expert and the WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, posted a call for donations to the WHO Foundation on X Thursday morning.

As of Friday afternoon, the fundraiser had only managed to collect $23,000, nowhere near its $1 billion goal.

“Consider a donation to @WHO via the @WHOFoundation – One Dollar, One World #ProudToBeWHO,” Van Kerkhove wrote in her post, including a link to contribute.
