    What's the story

    China on Wednesday said that its medical suppliers are working "overtime" to supply at least 25,000 oxygen concentrators ordered by traders in India, which has been hit hard by a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    India has been facing a crippling shortage of medical oxygen and other essentials such as hospital beds, ventilators, and medicines.

    Here are more details on this.

    'Cargo planes are under plan for medical supplies'

    "Chinese medical suppliers are working overtime on orders from India, at least 25000 orders for oxygen concentrators in recent days. Cargo planes are under plan for medical supplies. Chinese customs will facilitate relevant process," Sun Weidong, the Chinese Ambassador to India, tweeted.

    Earlier this week, it was reported that China's state-run Sichuan Airlines had suspended all its cargo flights to India for 15 days.

    Situation

    The worsening COVID-19 situation in India

    India has been gripped by a dreadful second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, which experts blame on mutated strains of the virus, mass gatherings violating COVID-19 protocols, and a slow vaccination drive.

    In the last 24 hours, the country reported 3.79 lakh infections - the highest one-day surge for any nation in the outbreak.

    With 3,645 fatalities, it also marked the deadliest day yet.
