Indian as well as foreign media have struggled to find that out, but to no avail. Even Union Ministries in India are unable to offer much clarity on the issue. An officer said that all the foreign aid is being received by the Indian Red Cross. #aid #RedCross #IndiaNeedsOxygen
It is then sent to the Ministry of External Affairs, and thereafter, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Home Affairs step in for domestic distribution. However, reportedly, no Ministry offered any details about the distribution of COVID-19 relief consignments. #Ministry
India is now a "chamber of horrors". I haven't experienced suffering so deep & paralyzing! In this @Lionsroar piece I share how to help India breathe, how to confront oppression in the long term, organizations to support and how to send loving-kindness buff.ly/3t5ogSZ 1/n
It has been absolutely brutal soaking in the collective trauma of my people. My family, friends & colleagues live in Delhi - epicenter of the current crisis.
It feels like everyone I know is on their knees begging for oxygen, medicines & places to bury/cremate the dead. 2/n

I have experienced anything like this before. I have gone through feeling utterly frozen and unable to act or grieve, to crying bitterly or being in fight and flight organizing fundraising campaigns.

Condolences to Sanghi acquaintances,
whose loved ones have suffered in this Modi-made humanitarian crisis, however meaningfully given,
automatically turn into empty words bereft of empathetic emotions..
I intend to show empathy for them...but my voice falters.👇

Each time everytime I remember the phrase,
लगेंगी आग तो आएंगे कईं घर ज़द में
यहाँ पे सिर्फ हमारा मक़ान थोड़ी है

These were the same privileged people who applauded Demonetisation, who were unaffected by flawed GST, who were unnerved after Kashmir's fate was sealed by Article 370 revocation, who sent 'hum honge kamayab' forwards after Phulwama, who voted Modi in 2019 in large numbers, 👇
1/ The help from #Pakistan to #India regarding COVID might be directed by 2 intentions.
1. Providing humanitarian relief is a way to assert international position, to show being stronger than the helped party, and to flatter national pride.

2. Helping a so close neighbor to contain this disaster could also aim to protect the country from contamination and other consequences from the resulting instability it creates.
However, this action could also backfire.

When Pakistan will be hit by the Indian COVID wave, Imran Khan's government will be challenged for having diverted strategic resources which will be missing.

I remember the mass graves in #NewYork last year where #COVID went through the population devastating families and friends. Mass cremation is ongoing in India. We need to understand the situation and empathize.

They are not numbers. They are uncles, aunts, mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers, best friends... #CovidIndia
For most, they have nowhere to go, no funds to lobby. Simple people facing extraordinary choices between working and putting food on the table OR dying of #COVID19.

How can we help as individuals? Be kind and help each other. We are all fighting the same battle, but some of us have a better arsenal. I feel helpless as I watch in horror the events unfolding in my birth country. Stay strong #India. This too shall pass. 🤞

India is verging on a catastrophic crisis. And the consequences will impact beyond India’s borders.
An international community - otherwise keen to pursue friendly trade deals - must be able to offer immediate assistance to a people in need. I hope Britain will lead. #O2IndiaSOS

India’s coronavirus crisis continues to escalate as it becomes one of the most severely hit countries in the world to date.
In desperation, many are turning to social media sites such as Twitter to find medical resources bellingcat.com/news/2021/04/2…

These cries for help are poignant and heartbreaking.
But they also provide a window of observation into the speed of escalation of the crisis and the dangers Covid-19 still poses.
Hashtags such as #IndiaNeedsOxygen & #COVIDEmergency2021 have become commonplace
