WHO Director-General slams global community

The head of the World Health Organization has slammed the global community for its focus on the war in Ukraine, arguing that crises elsewhere, including in his home country of Ethiopia, are not being given equal consideration, possibly because those suffering are not white, reported from AP News. 

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus questioned, "if the world really gives equal attention to Black and white lives,” given that the ongoing emergencies in Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Syria have garnered only a "fraction” of the global concern for Ukraine.

"As we speak, people are dying of starvation,” he said. "This is one of the longest and worst sieges by both Eritrean and Ethiopian forces in modern history.”
