A Kuwaiti Air Force plane carrying medical aid left for India, which grapples with a massive surge in COVID-19 infections.

The aid is part of an air lift between the two countries, including the shipment of 25 tonnes of emergency medical supplies for COVID-19 victims, according to the Kuwaiti Defence Ministry.

In addition, Kuwait has sent 215 metric tonnes of oxygen and over 1,000 oxygen cylinders to India.
Kuwait’s Ambassador to India Jassim Al Najim added that his country’s relief campaign to support India continues. An Indian navy ship has left the Kuwait’s Port of Al Shuwaikh loaded with 40 metric tonnes of oxygen and a large number of oxygen cylinders, the envoy told Kuwait’s official news agency KUNA.

Two other Indian navy vessels are due to leave later Thursday Kuwait carrying 100 metric tonnes of oxygen.

The assistance was dispatched in coordination with the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry and the Red Crescent Society.

Late last month, Kuwait declared solidarity with India as its health system has crumbled under the surge, and pledged to send oxygen and other medical supplies to the South Asian country.
