Responding to the escalating Covid crisis in India, the British Indian Jewish Association has thrown its support behind the British Asian Trust’s emergency appeal.
It says that £50 will provide oxygen for 40 patients; £450 will fund a low-flow oxygen concentrator to help 900 patients with breathing difficulties and £830 will pay for a high-flow oxygen concentrator to help 550 of the most seriously ill patients.
“We have all seen the distressing images in the media,” said BIJA co-chairs Zaki Cooper and Dr Peter Chadha. “People in India are suffering terribly and we wanted to do what we can to help.
“Our religions talk about the value and sanctity of human life. We know from our own communities’ experiences in the UK the devastation that Covid can bring. By supporting BAT’s appeal, we want to give an outlet for all those who wish to help India at this really hard time.”
