Indonesia's government has ordered producers to prioritise medical oxygen amid a Covid surge and a shortage of oxygen in a number of cities.
Hospitals say they have almost exhausted supplies, with one reporting that 63 patients died as a result of oxygen shortages.
Indonesia is recording more than 25,000 new cases every day.
Increased travel and the highly contagious Delta variant have exacerbated the crisis.
Indonesia has had the worst Covid outbreak in South East Asia, with about 2.3 million positive cases and more than 60,000 deaths so far.

So many people seem to forget that we only have Planet A and that this is bad for all of us.

And of coarse no one is going to help them out, right. Where's all the Chinese on helping Indonesia out. We only lost 54,000 + trying to help them out in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, whats a few oxygen tanks?
