New Delhi, Jan 20: In an appalling incident from Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district, cops on night patrol were caught on camera refusing to help two accident victims lying in pool of blood to 'avoid blood stains in car'.

The police officials can be heard asking the people to 'hold on', when they were trying to lift the boys off the road.

Reportedly, the two youths were riding a motorbike when they met with an accident.

The video shows, a man wailing and asking for help, but the cops refuse to carry the bloodied bodies in their car.

One of the bystanders helping the accident victims is heard saying, "Sir, your car will get washed but please open the door."

To this, reportedly, a cop said, "Where will we sit, if the car goes for a wash?"

The onlookers then hail an auto to take the boys to the hospital, where the two were declared dead.

Paris, Jun 28: More than 10 million cases of the new coronavirus have been officially declared around the world, half of them in Europe and the United States, according to an AFP tally on Sunday based on official sources.

At least 10,003,942 infections, including 498,779 deaths, have been registered globally.

Europe remains the hardest hit continent with 2,637,546 cases including 195,975 fatalities, while the United States has 2,510,323 infections including 125,539 deaths.

The rate of infections worldwide continues to rise, with one million new cases recorded in just six days.

The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO), probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections.

Many countries are testing only symptomatic or the most serious cases and some do not have the capacity to carry out widescale testing.

Beijing, Mar 6: World health officials have warned that countries are not taking the coronavirus crisis seriously enough, as outbreaks surged across Europe and in the United States where medical workers sounded warnings over a "disturbing" lack of hospital preparedness.

The World Health Organization warned Thursday that a "long list" of countries were not showing "the level of political commitment" needed to "match the level of the threat we all face".

"This is not a drill," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.

"This epidemic is a threat for every country, rich and poor."

Tedros called on the heads of government in every country to take charge of the response and "coordinate all sectors", rather than leaving it to health ministries.

What is needed, he said, is "aggressive preparedness."
