As India is bearing a shortage of oxygen supply and patients suffering from COVID-19 are dying waiting for hospital beds.
Hundreds and thousands have died in hospitals in India’s New Delhi amidst low oxygen supplies.
Doctors have taken to social media to beg public authorities to get them resupplied. The government has mobilized to bring oxygen supplies by train, plane and trucks.
However, in order to express solidarity with the neighbouring country, Pakistan has announced to offer relief and support to India, including ventilators, Bi-PAP, digital X-ray machines, PPEs and other related items.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has announced the relief for India saying: “We believe in a policy of Humanity First.”
