waiting there elizabeth pradhan al jazeera new daddy. to retention malik is the director of radix health care a private hospital in new delhi he says india is facing one of the biggest battles in its modern history. the situation in but there are supporters like any other because particularly in the city of delhi really precarious we were using about 8000. 1000 liters of d during because we needed it but then unfortunately in the last few days it has been reduced to about 2001500 liters per day is coming in with that is that you know patients create to create trouble we have trip planning to discharge them we're telling them to find a different hospital if they can they can know we're giving them written

instructions that we have short of the supply and when replied to bring up the supply add the supplier who has been supplying oxygen great red for the last 30 years consecutively they have put off their telephone cause we can't email them obviously they don't have any oxygen i think that. they should be had here let us forget about elections that is forget about rallies let us forget the vote was going to be in which state because that has been going on for the last couple of weeks maybe a month we need to concentrate our energy how to get people oxygen how to use you know special rays in which you can you know make oxygen someplace from the drains on you know special tracks you know absolutely not interrupted only and escorted by police because you have to escort them with forces because of they didn't mind when did is a so much of their mind is

a place little people tend to people tend to stop them in. you know give it to us so i think it has to be a c.v. it might be pronged attack on how to get oxygen and what doe it oxygen. in effect making it is good you know to augment it as far as possible you just. germany's ending europe is ending and doing. good deeds will come but we need to not expedient. do we're losing people the number of people dying i think we know under reporting that there is more to. well the international community is really scrambling to help india the e.u. is activated its civil protection mechanism in order to send oxygen and medical supplies to india present a sort of underline to each of the block is ready to help persons as it would send more than 600 medical devices including oxygen concentrator isn't ventilators with

the 1st shipment to arrive on choose day and respect for equipment also arrive from france in the coming days and then the white house has announced it will immediately provide woman tiriel for vaccines medical equipment and protective care well let's go live now to patty culhane is in washington and patty which is tearing vera about cases breaking global records in india hospitals are overwhelmed and then chronic shortages of of medicine and oxygen tell us more about what the white house is is pledging to do. well vitae ministrations because been coming under increased pressure especially if the state department just thursday asked about sending additional equipment and aid to india so that they were going to focus on vaccinating americans 1st so now we've heard from the white house of readout of the phone call for a national security advisor jake sullivan to his counterpart and they say they will be sending in the supplies now keep in mind the u.s. has an export ban and all the raw material material that goes into making vaccines

so they carefully worded the statement about what they're saying they said they found a supply of the raw material that they will be sending they don't so where that supply came from whether it's an american or somewhere else they went on to say that they'll be sending test kits personal protective equipment the therapeutic drugs that can help people infected with coated they're going to send a medical team in and they're trying to figure out ways to increase the generation of oxygen so sending that message today that the u.s. is going to help this reverses course of from what they said just a couple of days ago what can the u.s. do in terms of sending india less vaccines. well keep in mind the u.s. has about we believe 20000000 doses of the asters i think a vaccine that doesn't look like it's going to get approval in the united states and keep in mind the u.s. has already approved very effective vaccines the pfizer the madonna the johnson and johnson and so they have these $20000000.00 stockpiled and there's growing calls

for them to send them around the globe but the bigger thing that they could do and a lot of health professionals are saying they need to do this is they could relax the rules of intellectual property and the patent so forget the u.s. government has played a big part in helping of helping create the maternal vaccine so they could say ok we're going to share that technology this formula with the rest of the world so they can make their own back scenes that's something the world health organization wants them to do the medical community the pharmaceutical industry does not want them to do that and joe biden on the campaign trail so that would be the humane thing to do that he would in fact take those steps but so far he hasn't and we're approaching a place in the united states were people who want the vaccine can get it there is excess supply and one of the problems is there's so much vaccine hesitancy in the u.s. so as the u.s. turns the corner it's clear across the globe many nations are not thank you very much again in washington thank you patty. now at least 82 people were killed in an

explosion at a hospital in the iraqi capital baghdad lay on saturday evening 110 people have suffered injuries blast is thought to have been caused by the poor handling of an oxygen cylinder which then exploded the ensuing fire broke out an intensive care ward of the in a teapot spittle coronavirus patients are being treated all less as iraq struggles to contain a 2nd wave of the pandemic with the daily number of infections reaching their highest levels since early last year and years of conflict and instability means that the country has long rattled with deteriorating infrastructure and the absence of safety or protection measures so on a fault in reports now from baghdad. a neighborhood truck by grief after an explosion ripped through a crowded covert 19 ward sod lost his father who had been a patient at the hospital as well as his brother who had stayed by his bedside to care for him. my father was about to recover they even took him off the oxygen and
