UN lists Kenya among countries to get coronavirus emergency funds
Others on the list are Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Madagascar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Timor-Leste as well as countries in Central America and the Pacific region.
UN relief chief Mark Lowcock said the list could be expanded to include more poor countries as the deadly virus continues to spread.
“To leave the world’s poorest and most vulnerable countries to their fate would be both cruel and unwise,” Mr Lowcock said.
