As India battles a crisis amid a surge in COVID-19 cases, coupled with lack of oxygen, shortage of beds and medicines across states, France President Emmanuel Macron has reached out to the country, assuring all possible support.

“I want to send a message of solidarity to the Indian people, facing a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. France is with you in this struggle, which spares no-one. We stand ready to provide our support (sic),” he said, as per a tweet on Friday, 23 April, by French Ambassador to India Emmanuel Lenain.

India on Friday reported 3,32,730 fresh COVID-19 cases over the last 24 hours – the highest one-day spike so far in the country since the pandemic began.
