The money goes to the purchase of healthcare supplies \u2013 including COVID-19 testing kits, masks, gloves, and protective suits \u2013 which will be donated to critical countries, especially the poorest ones. So far, the WHO has provided 1.5 million testing kits, hundred-thousand masks, and thousands of face shields, gowns, and gloves across 120 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The first of its own, One World: Together At Home will also break boundaries in the streaming platform, being the first program to be shown in various services \u2013 Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch. It will also be available in Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Over the past week, Lady Gaga, in collaboration with Global Citizen, has helped raised $35 million, calling on philanthropists and benefactors to pitch in for WHO&#8217;s COVID-19 relief. Apple&#8217;s Tim Cook, who will feature the event on Apple&#8217;s streaming service, will also be donating $10 million to the cause.<\/p>\n<p>A show dedicated to the frontliners, One World: Together At Home will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert. There will also be a digital-only program on April 18, which will be separate from the home broadcast. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcitizen.org\/en\/connect\/togetherathome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>www.globalcitizen.org<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u25fc[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wtravelmagazine.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Subscribe to the latest edition now by clicking here.<\/em><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! --><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><em>\u00a9 This article was first published online in Apr 2020 &#8211; World Travel Magazine.<\/em><\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the wake of social distancing, Hollywood&#8217;s best stars gather together \u2013 apart \u2013 in what could be the millennial version of 1985&#8217;s Live Aid, amassing the world&#8217;s beloved acts while tapping the power of multi-broadcasting.
