Situation
Help India’s most vulnerable communities as they face a devastating coronavirus surge. With hospitals overrun and oxygen supplies falling short of demand, thousands of people are not able to receive potentially life-saving treatment. Several cities have imposed lockdowns and curfews, which have a knock-on effect on people’s livelihoods, with the poorest and most marginalised communities being hit hardest.
Solution
DEC-funded aid delivery will include medical supplies, treatment facilities and logistics assistance to support India’s health system, as well as helping vulnerable families protect themselves from the virus with water, soap, handwashing stations and information.
