Court says deaths due to oxygen shortage are ‘no less than genocide’ as hospitals run perilously low on life-saving gas.
A court in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state has ruled that the deaths of COVID-19 patients caused by a lack of oxygen are “a criminal act and not less than a genocide”. The second wave of the pandemic has had a devastating effect on India which has seen oxygen supplies run perilously low and crematoriums operating non-stop. India’s government is facing growing pressure to impose a nationwide lockdown to stem the devastating coronavirus surge.More Related News
