Portugal, currently feeling the full force of its third wave of the coronavirus pandemic, has appealed for international help to relieve overwhelmed hospital staff.
Prime Minister Antonio Costa has acknowledged that the nation s hospitals are under gigantic pressure .
The government acted after the country s 24-hour death toll passed the 300-mark and television stations broadcast pictures of ambulances queueing up outside Lisbon s largest hospital.
The socialist administration confirmed late on Monday it had accepted an offer of help from Germany, after an announcement from Berlin that they were sending medics, 150 field hospital beds and respiratory machines.
