India Covid Cases: India registers a record-breaking number of new coronavirus cases

A country struggling to breath. India has recorded another global record of new coronavirus cases for a fifth day running with more than 352,000 infections reported in the last 24 hours. 

The capital is being ravaged at a frightening speed. In the capital Delhi covid is now killing one person every four minutes.

Hospitals have completely run out of beds and some are missing critical supplies including oxygen. 

International help is being pledged for India as it battles a ferocious second wave of coronavirus described by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a storm that has shaken the nation.

Each funeral is a story of personal loss and national shame. In an intervew, one cremator said that he have never seen such a terrifying situation and can't believe that they're in the capital of India. 

They said people aren't getting oxygen and they're dying like animals.

Hospital staffs said they have been spending sleepless nights since last one week and they feel like crying because they are not able to help the patients properly.

Families are being told to organize oxygen. People at medical shops were found with empty cylinders waiting to buy their own supply for loved ones who urgently need it.

Body after body are being brought in every crematorium. Even young people are dying. It's a very bad situation.

The country of 1.3 billion people so far has administered nearly 141 million vaccine shots.
