World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus speaks at a press conference at its head office in Geneva on July 3, 2020. He said the WHO should get the results within two weeks of ongoing clinical trials on drugs that might be effective in treating coronavirus patients. (Photo by Kyodo News via Getty Images)

WHO(SONNA)-The director-general of the World Health Organization has condemned a “lack of leadership” in fighting the corona virus pandemic and made an emotional plea for global unity, as cases soar in multiple countries and the world struggles to contain the devastating virus more than six months after it was first identified.

“The greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a passionate speech in Geneva on Thursday. “Rather, it’s the lack of leadership and solidarity at the global and national levels this is a tragedy that is forcing us to miss many of our friends, losing many lives. We cannot defeat this pandemic as a divided world,” Tedros said.
