The head of the World Health Organisation's European office is hailing a show of support, including some "commitments" from around the world, for the UN health agency after US President Donald Trump announced a halt to funding for it.
Amid an increasingly fraught financial situation for the WHO as it battles the coronavirus outbreak, Dr Hans Kluge said: "We have been overwhelmed by the support of European countries."
"We are looking at the finance situation. Some commitments have come in," Kluge said, without elaborating. "But for the time, we're in the midst of the crisis. So what we focus on is to save lives."
