   ISLAMABAD - The United States has donated 100 medical ventilators to
   support Pakistan in its fight against COVID-19.

   "This donation delivers on President Donald Trump's generous offer of
   these critically needed supplies and supports Pakistan's urgent
   response to the pandemic," the U.S. Embassy said in a statement Friday.

   The national tally of confirmed coronavirus cases in Pakistan, a
   country of 220 million people, has surpassed 222,000, with nearly 4,600
   patients dying since officials detected the outbreak four months ago.

   "The United States has been kind and generous particularly in the
   context of COVID where the U.S. has actually designated Pakistan as one
   of the 10 priority countries," Asad Majeed Khan, the Pakistani
   ambassador to the U.S., told an online forum in Washington on Thursday.
