"We offered the assistance of our integrated supply chain if it was required. We've been told at this point that it's not needed because India has a reasonably robust system to deal with this. But our offer stands, and we're willing to help in whatever way we can," Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said on Tuesday.
