China-donated oxygen cylinders would be distributed to large government-run hospitals in the Kathmandu Valley, and a few would be sent to the crisis-hit provinces in southwestern and far-western Nepal.

KATHMANDU, May 17 (Xinhua) -- Nepal received a second shipment of China-donated oxygen cylinders on Sunday as the Himalayan country is facing a short supply of medical oxygen for a growing number of COVID-19 patients.

A Nepal Airlines plane landed at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at 2:30 p.m. local time with oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators from China, Dim Prasad Poudel, managing director of the airline, told Xinhua.

On Tuesday, Nepal received the first batch of oxygen cylinders from China.
