التفاصيل:

• The majority of Global Affairs Canada’s humanitarian contributions in response to COVID-19 appeals from the UN and Red Cross were fully unearmarked, to provide maximum flexibility to meet rapidly evolving needs and situations. 

• Canada also responded to needs resulting from the secondary impacts of the pandemic, such as interruptions to the food supply chain, through support to a range of humanitarian partners. In the face of the sudden closure of international borders and the grounding of international flights, for example, Canada supported the UN World Food Programme to establish an air service to transport humanitarian and health workers and deliver critical personal protective equipment to countries across the world. Further, support to UNICEF ensured the distribution of essential therapeutic food to help save children from starvation, while also helping local communities reduce the risk of transmission of the coronavirus among children and other vulnerable populations. 

• Canada also supported the CRC to develop a program to enhance pandemic and epidemic preparedness in partnership with other national societies.  

• At the domestic level, Canada cooperated with the CRC regarding the provision of medical stocks, expertise and personnel to respond to COVID. Canada also supported CRC’s Health in Emergencies strategy including epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response.
