What did Faisal Edhi say in the letter?

According to a statement issued by the Edhi Foundation, Faisal Edhi wrote in his letter that we are keeping a close eye on the impact of the Corona Crisis on the people of India.

He wrote we are saddened to hear of the very serious effects of Corona in your country, where a large number of people are suffering immensely.

He offered to send 50 ambulances and a team of volunteers to India, saying he was ready to lead a team of volunteers.

He said that Edhi Foundation is aware of the seriousness of the situation and we are ready to extend full support to India while our team will arrange all necessary equipment to help the Indian people.

Chairman Edhi Foundation clarified in his letter that "we are not requesting any assistance from you, we will arrange the fuel, food and other essentials required by our team".

He said our team is made up of emergency medical technicians, office staff, drivers, and support staff.

He said that in addition to permission to enter India for the implementation of the proposed service, necessary instructions are requested from the local administration and the police department.

Hospitals in northern and western India, including the capital New Delhi, had issued notices stating that they had only a few hours of oxygen available to keep Corona patients alive.

According to the Delhi government's online database, more than two-thirds of hospitals have been filled and doctors have instructed patients to stay at home.
