Many countries are sending oxygen to India. India has 1.3 billion people. There are over 300,000 new COVID-19 cases every day in India. Its hospitals are in trouble. They are turning people with the virus away. There are not enough beds and oxygen. Singapore sent oxygen to India. Amazon will deliver 100 ventilators to India.
Singapore said it was urgent to help India. The pandemic is a global threat. It does not care what country, nationality or race you are from. The WHO said the situation in India was "beyond heartbreaking". It is sending equipment and supplies. It said: "The growth...in case numbers is really, truly astonishing."
