U.S. Praises Pakistan for Helping New York Families in Coronavirus

As coronavirus (COVID-19) infection has affected thousands of U.S. families, Pakistan is providing necessary relief to the needy families in New York, which is among the worst-hit areas in the world.

The American Pakistani Advocacy Group (APAG) has delivered more than 1,000 groceries packages to elderly, disabled, and financially distressed families in New York.

It is reported that APAG was the first South Asian organization to start delivering groceries in New York to people in need.

The United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo today (May 3) appreciated Pakistan’s efforts to help the people infected by coronavirus.

“The U.S.-Pakistan relationship is built on a solid foundation of friendship and shared values. This has been evident in our support for one another during the COVID-19 pandemic. Glad to see the grassroots support for communities happening in both nations,” Mr Pompeo tweeted today.

As of today, nearly one-third of the total 3.5 million coronavirus cases are in the U.S. which has suffered more than 67,000 deaths in the past couple of months.

Although the maximum number of coronavirus cases and deaths are believed to be happening in India which has become the global epicenter of the pandemic, the Indian government is not revealing the actual coronavirus data.

Moreover, while Pakistan is helping people in other countries such as the U.S. during the coronavirus crisis, its neighboring country India has abandoned its own people on the roads, as millions of people are stranded in different Indian states without any relief from the Indian government.
