A report by Oxfam has revealed that the earnings of the 10 wealthiest during the pandemic could buy vaccine for the entire world population.
The combined wealth of 10 men increased during the coronavirus pandemic by $540bn (£400bn).
The NGO’s report found the total wealth of world’s top 10 billionaires was equivalent to the entire spending by all G20 governments on recovering from the virus.
The charity is urging governments to consider taxes on the super-rich.
