Covid-19 scenes: Doctors break down as oxygen runs out, mass cremations continue

As Covid-19 bodies were brought to the crematorium without a break, officials set up pyres on a parking lot next to the road in East Delhi. They lost count after 100 on Friday evening. The crematorium handled around 20 bodies a day before the pandemic. @htTweets pic.twitter.com/BYE4I4IQ4H

For those who understand Gujarati, this is the state of Rajkot in Gujarat, the hometown of CM Rupani. People have to wait for hours to get oxygen bottles filled up. Hospitals have allegedly told people that if they want a bed, they have to arrange oxygen on their own. pic.twitter.com/iz1jkfXheb
