Irish Government Donating Aid To Nepal After Offaly Man's Plea For Help

The country is struggling to cope with a surge in covid cases.

The government is donating medical equipment to Nepal, in order to help with a serious surge in covid cases there.

Oxygen concentrators, ventilators, respiratory monitors, air regulators, along with over a million items of PPE will be loaded onto a flight shortly.

It's due to leave Shannon Airport later today, with the cost of delivery being subsidised by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

It comes after Offaly man Jonathan Clarke - who lives in Nepal - urged Irish authorities to step in, with Nepal hitting a peak of over 9,000 daily cases last month.
