Norway provides DKK 20 million in humanitarian aid assistance to India due to the corona pandemic.
This is what Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide tells NRK.
The money will go through the World Health Organization (WHO ) and the Red Cross. The support will, among other things, contribute to ambulance services with oxygen, information campaigns to promote infection control, hygiene packages, infection equipment and food in addition to the operation of operating centers.
– Corona virus does not affect borders, the virus and new mutations spread rapidly across national borders and continents. That we succeed in fighting the pandemic globally , is also crucial for the infection situation in Norway, says Eriksen Søreide in one press release .
