Sadly the Covid-19 pandemic has hit India with a devastating second wave of coronavirus, the country thought that they were over the worst of the pandemic and let its guard down it terms of social distancing and wearing masks. In the last few months there have been many gatherings for religious and political reasons, some seeing numbers reaching 4 million people attending events around the country.
Today in India was a world record of new Covid-19 cases reaching 332, 921 people infected. The health system is totally unprepared for the speed and severity of the contagion, Hospitals are running out of beds, ventilators and oxygen.
A special train has been arranged called the oxygen express to bring vital supplies to the most needy hospitals around Mumbai.
Rajasthan is currently in a lockdown for 2 weeks which will likely be extended as the numbers are still rising. The gypsy people have had a really bad time all year, as there has been no tourist work or entertainment possibilities. The hope of migrating to work in this hot time is now not possible.
The whole country has been devastated, but none more than the tribal people that live in tent houses in the desert, surviving day to day hand to mouth. These people need your help. We are arranging food parcels of flour, Dal, oil, tea and sugar. A small amount of money will go a really long way to help these families. We are able to buy in bulk to keep the costs down and have a team of volunteers who are delivering the food. Every penny donated will be used to buy food. We delivered food today to 30 families and with your help we can provide more food for more families in a few weeks time.
