What the petition asks
Given the on-going COVID-19 crisis in India resulting in the shortage of medical supplies particularly oxygen, an emergency debate should be arranged in the House of Commons so that MPs can discuss what emergency aid should be immediately sent to India
Given the close links between the UK and India, the UK should step in to support India during this time of humanitarian crisis.
