#IndiaNeedsOxygen trends on Twitter in Pakistan as citizens request PM Imran Khan to aid India who is facing a shortage of oxygen cylinders as covid-19 cases spike in the region.

India reported the world's highest daily tally of coronavirus infections for a second day on Friday, surpassing 330,000 new cases, as it struggles with a health system overwhelmed by patients and plagued by accidents.

In response, people are bypassing the conventional lines of communication and turning to Twitter to crowdsource help for oxygen cylinders, hospital beds, and other requirements.

Pakistani citizens also rallied for their neighbours and called on the PM to alleviate the situation in India. Prayers and compassionate messages continue to pour in: 

 

 

Faisal Edhi, son of celebrated philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi and chairman of the foundation also offered help to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The situation continues to get worse in India as deaths in the past 24 hours also jumped to a record 2,263, the health ministry said, while officials across northern and western India, including the capital, New Delhi, warn most hospitals are full and running out of oxygen.

N K Ali | 3 years ago | Reply Not even Pakistan s enemies should face such a deathly situation. The whole world is suffering except Israel. Maybe because they are the inventors of this evil and have a secret anti-dote. India should accept all help Pakistan offers. Salams
tatvavetta | 3 years ago | Reply Thanks to people of Pakistan people . But Pakistan politicians army and media link everything to Kashmir and Islam and not to human concerns. Indian people will take compliments and remarks of PM Imran Khan with a pinch of salt. Indian Government and people do not want to be facilitated by Pakistani government only good wishes are enough.
