Top US lawmakers on Monday urged the Biden government to help facilitate assistance to India that the Coronavirus pandemic has critically impacted. India has recorded more than 30 million coronavirus cases and registered nearly 400,000 deaths due to the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic.

Senior American lawmakers took up the floor of the US House of Representatives in support of the House Resolution that urges the Biden administration to facilitate private, in-kind medical supply donations to India and work to deliver additional, urgently needed medical supplies to India, including oxygen generator plants and a cryogenic oxygen tanker and containers.

“I rise in support of H Res 402 urging the government to assist in response to the devastating impact of Covid-19 in India. This resolution is an excellent measure that solidifies this body’s already strong, bipartisan support for the people of India as they recover from this most recent wave of Covid-19 infections,” Congressman Gregory Meeks, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said.

Meeks said Indians from all backgrounds had been impacted by the pandemic, with infections increasing day by day, the healthcare system is struggling to provide care. And medical supply shortages were reported in the country. “It was not just the American government that contributed, we witnessed many in the Indian American community and the United States private sector rally support to get critical supplies to India,” he said.
