PM Modi and US President Joe Biden
The US has announced an additional USD 41 million assistance to help India respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen the countryâs preparedness for the future health emergencies, taking the total aid to more than USD 200 million.
In April and May, India struggled with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 3,00,000 daily new cases. Hospitals were reeling under a shortage of medical oxygen and beds.
âIndia came to the assistance of the United States during this countryâs time of need, and now the United States stands with the people of India as they continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic,â the US Agency for International Development said on Monday.
