Red Cross says actions needed in Africa against Covid-19

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The International Committee of the Red Cross is warning that health care systems across Africa could collapse under the weight of the coronavirus pandemic. The ICRC says it's especially worried about countries in conflict, such as Burkina Faso and Mali. In many places, clean water and soap are in short supply or non-existent.

Also in the programme: how people in Gaza are coping with the pandemic; and latest from New York, the city at the centre of the pandemic in US.
