India has received the first part of an oxygen-generating plant shipment from Germany, India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in a tweet Thursday. “Deeply grateful to our trusted partner Germany for providing a massive oxygen generating plant. Great cooperation between the Luftwaffe, the German federal armed forces medical service and the European Union,” one tweet said. Planeloads of ventilators, oxygen supplies and antiviral drugs began arriving last week, with photos showing massive parcels being unloaded at New Delhi airport. Choubey tweeted Wednesday that “Covid-19 supplies received from the global community have been effectively allocated to states and UTs by Government of India.”
