International efforts are under way to help India as the country suffers critical oxygen shortages amid a devastating surge in Covid cases.
The UK has begun sending ventilators and oxygen concentrator devices. EU members are also due to send aid.
The US said it would provide raw materials for vaccines that had previously been under export controls.
In Delhi – a region of about 20 million people – hospitals are full and are turning away new patients. At least two hospitals have seen patients die after oxygen supplies ran out.
“I’ve never seen such a terrifying situation. I can’t believe we’re in the capital of #India. People aren’t getting oxygen and they’re dying like animals”, @jayantMalhotr18 tells the BBC. Another horrifying ground report from @yogital, Fred Scott and Sanjay Ganguly. #Delhi pic.twitter.com/SATROEAhry
