WHO urged to save 'besieged Kashmiris' amid coronavirus fears.

ISLAMABAD -- Jammu Kashmir Salvation Movement President Altaf Ahmed Bhat has urged the World Health Organisation (WHO) to save the lives of people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ and K) 'who are being denied health care facilities amid the coronavirus outbreak'.

In a statement on Sunday, he said neither India is taking pre-cautionary measures nor providing health facilities to the people of IOJ and K 'to traumatise and inflict harm' on them.

He appealed to the WHO and all international organisations to act practically, pressurise India and save the lives of besieged Kashmiris from the catastrophe of COVID-19.

Bhat said people in the occupied valley are at greater risk of being infected with highly-contagious disease and if the people are not provided with necessary medical facilities the virus 'could engulf the large number of population'.
