Hollywood star James McAvoy has made an appeal to his fans and followers to send out donations to India as our country struggles with the "massive" shortage of oxygen during the second wave of the pandemic. The actor, best known for films like the X-Men and Unbreakable series, shared a link to a crowd-funding campaign on Instagram on Monday "to help purchase oxygen concentrator machines and other medical supplies to help support India".

"India needs help. You can help...donate what you can if you can. Link to just giving page in my Bio. @daivikfoundation (sic)," McAvoy wrote in the caption.
In his video message, the 42-year-old star said one of his friends is seeking to send help to India as quickly as possible.

"I think everyone is aware of the situation in India right now. And, it's really bad. There is a massive crisis and there is not enough of oxygen. A doctor friend of mine is getting oxygen where it's needed as quickly as possible," he said.
