The Red Cross said Thursday it was seeking $3.2 billion for its coronavirus crisis response — a huge increase on the $825 million figure it sought when it launched its COVID-19 appeal in March.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement said the pandemic had amplified inequalities in society, destabilised communities and reversed development gains made in the past decade.

The movement consists of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and 192 national-level societies.
