NEW DELHI—Pakistan’s leading charity organization-Edhi Foundation-has offered help to India to fight the worsening Covid-19 crisis in neighbouring India.

Faisal Edhi, managing trustee of the Edhi Foundation has written a letter to Prime Minister narendra Modi in this connection on Friday.

He has offered to send 50 ambulances with medical, paramedical and other staff to India and requested the Indian prime minister to open the border for its staff to be sent for providing medical assistance.

Faisal in his letter said that his organization had been closely following the impact that Covid-19 crisis had cast on the people of India.

“We are very sorry to hear about the exceptionally heavy impact that the pandemic has had on your country, where a tremendous number of people are suffering immensely,” Faisal wrote in his letter.

The Pakistani philanthropist said, “As a neighbouring friend, we sympathise with you greatly and during this strenuous time, we would like to extend our help in the form of a fleet of 50 ambulances along with our services to assist you in addressing, and further circumventing, the current health conditions”.

“Our organisation understands the gravity of the situation, and we wish to lend you our full support, without any inconvenience to you, which is why we will arrange all the necessary supplies that our team needs to assist the people of India. Importantly, we are not requesting any other assistance from you, as we are providing the fuel, food and other necessary amenities that our team will require. Our team consists of emergency medical technicians, office staff, drivers, and supporting staff,” Faisal said in his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Faisal has said that his team would work in coordination with local police and administrative authorities of India and expressed his willingness to “deploy” his team wherever the authorities designate.

“We are willing and ready to deploy our team into any critical areas of concern at your discretion without hesitation,” Faisal said.

“In order to implement our proposed service, we only request your permission to enter India as well as any necessary guidance from the local administration and police department,” he added.

“We look forward to assisting you in managing the current humanitarian crisis, and hope only to provide our help in whatever way that we can, for the benefit of the people of India,” Faisal further said in his letter to Modi.
