India’s battle against COVID-19 has reached a devastating milestone, reporting a record 3,300 deaths in a single day as hospitals and cremation grounds buckle under unrelenting pressure. 🌡️ The surge has overwhelmed medical infrastructure, with oxygen shortages and overflowing ICU wards forcing families to plead for help on social media.
In cities like Delhi and Mumbai, makeshift pyres burn day and night in parking lots and parks as traditional cremation sites run out of space. ‘We’ve never seen anything like this,’ one volunteer told local media, describing the race to honor the dead with dignity amid the chaos. 🕯️
Experts warn the crisis could worsen due to highly transmissible variants and slow vaccine rollout. Meanwhile, global aid—including oxygen concentrators and antiviral drugs—has begun arriving, but many residents say it’s ‘too little, too late.’ 💉
The World Health Organization has called for urgent international solidarity, while young activists across Asia are rallying online to share resources and support. 💻✊
