Expressing worry over the surging coronavirus cases, President of the UN General Assembly said that it was time for the world to extend help and support to the country which had provided COVID-19 vaccines to many vulnerable nations.
“I’m worried about the #COVID19 situation in India, a country which did so much to ensure #Vaccines4All in vulnerable countries. It’s time for the world to extend aid & support to India. No one’s safe until we’re all safe,” President of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly Volkan Bozkir tweeted Tuesday.
India’s Permanent Representatives to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti replied to Bozkir’s tweet, saying “India deeply appreciates your sentiments and solidarity at this juncture.”
We deeply appreciate your sentiments and solidarity at this juncture 🙏 @UN_PGA @MEAIndia

Meanwhile, Indian-American CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella and his Google counterpart Sundar Pichai on Monday extended their support to India amid a record surge in coronavirus cases.
Taking to Twitter, Nadella said, “I am heartbroken by the current situation in India. I’m grateful the US government is mobilising to help. Microsoft will continue to use its voice, resources, and technology to aid relief efforts, and support the purchase of critical oxygen concentration devices.”
In a catastrophic surge of COVID cases in India, both hospitals and crematoriums are overwhelmed with the demand. Indians are still struggling to get the Remdesivir drug. Manish Aggarwal, a resident of New Delhi, was a little content when he bought precious doses of COVID-19 medication for his sick father.
