China to give WHO $30 million more after US freezes funds: official

BEIJING, April 23, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – China announced Thursday it will donate another $30 million to the World Health Organization to help the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

His comments come around a week after the United States — also the WHO’s biggest contributor — said it would halt payments to the UN body after accusing it of “mismanaging” the COVID-19 crisis.
