   The World Health Organization says it is "deeply troubled by reports
   that domestic violence has spiked dramatically in many areas of Europe
   during COVID-related lockdowns."

   Speaking from Copenhagen Thursday, the WHO Europe chief, Dr. Hans
   Kluge, said he had seen reports of increases in reports of domestic and
   other interpersonal violence against men, women and children from
   countries including Belgium, Britain, France, Russia, Spain and others
   amid the coronavirus pandemic.
