It was a chartered Qantas flight carrying supplies, including 1056 ventilators and 43 oxygen concentrators.

The Australian donated supplies will be given to the Indian Red Cross and local authorities for redistribution.

“India has shown great leadership and generosity to the world in exporting vaccines globally. It is time for the world to repay that generosity, and Australia as a close friend of the Indian people is playing its part,” Minister Payne said.
