DUBAI: The World Health Organization thanked Saudi Arabia's King Salman for donating $500 million to support the international efforts in preventing the coronavirus spread, state news agency SPA reported on Friday.

"I express my great gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and to the Saudi people for their great generosity by donating $500 million, in response to plan to combat the Coronavirus, hoping the rest of the G20 members to follow King Salman step," the World Health Organization’s Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.


The Kingdom will allocate $150 million to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovation, $150 million to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, and $200 million to other international and regional health organizations and programs.

Coronavirus has killed over 150,000 people globally and infected more than 2.2 million individuals in 193 countries and territories

Too soon KSA. Going by the current oil market crisis, it's a humanic but financially an idiotic move.

I must give my honor to KSA

LOL and another two-fingers at Trump who stopped funding WHO as he needed a scapegoat over his mishandling of coronavirus in the USA.

As for "too soon", Saudi has more than enough reserves to spare 500 million US dollars and it won't make much of a difference to their overall financial position.

Waste of money, should have bought arms and sent it to Haftar

As if that would be less of a waste.

Tide can easily be turned but there's no action being taken

Arabian/Arab generosity has been known for centuries/millennia. Not without merit.

KSA currently chairs the G20 as the next summit will take place in KSA.

KSA has experience with MERS and a lot of money has been spent/is being spent at Saudi Arabian universities and institutions in regards to medical, pharmaceutical, virological etc. research.

KAUST is one such leading research institution.

From what I am aware of, contrary to the ignorance of some Arab-obsessed Turkish trolls on PDF, KSA does not take sides in Libya and have had meetings in person (not many months ago) and continue to talk with both parties.

Looks like LNA is advancing in "enemy territory" (Western Libya) again.

Anyway my opinions about that civil war and foreign meddling is clear.

No Arab should visit Turkey as long as it is ruled by the enormous massive kelb Tayyip

Some Muftis should declare this

Not a fan of that Arabized and Arab-obsessed (even to the extent of marrying a Turkish Arab) Georgian but have in mind that all of his projects (MB project) have failed spectacularly in all of the Arab world.

Attempts of gaining power in Morocco failed. Algeria likewise. Tunisia likewise. Libya is an ongoing story but rest assured that Egypt alone will never accept a hostile MB regime in Libya, Egypt was a colossal failure, Syria was another failure, Iraq (Al-Nujaifi) another. Attempts in the GCC as well. Practically everywhere failed except for the US military base that is Qatar right now unfortunately. However that small joint base will be removed as well and in case of hostilities ever occurring it will be flattened within seconds. This is our backyard (Arab world) and nobody can project the same power expect for superpowers like USA and Russia (much less so than the US too) and China (if they involved themselves).

Care to tell us, if it is a Chinese virus, how other "nations" are getting infected? Shouldn't a national virus discriminate who it infects?
