(CBN News) CBN News has learned that more than thirty faith leaders have sent a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to increase critical COVID-19 funding resources to other countries as they negotiate additional emergency funding for the pandemic.
While two trillion dollars have been passed by Congress to fight the disease, the US Global Leadership Coalition says just 0.1% of those funds have gone towards countries overseas. “As a nation, we have both the ability and obligation to provide resources which will prevent the worldwide spread of this disease and alleviate the suffering of those afflicted – and in so doing, we are certain it will also protect us here at home as well,” the letter reads.
