Experts warned that Kenya should do anything to stop the Covid-19 variant that has devastated India. The United States said it would send raw materials for Covid-19 vaccines, medical equipment and protective gear to help India respond to the massive surge. US National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne said officials were "working round the clock" to deploy available resources and supplies to help India manufacture the AstraZeneca vaccine. Washington was under mounting pressure to help India after Britain, France and Germany pledged aid at the weekend. The United States was also pursuing options to provide India with oxygen generation and related supplies, Horne said.
