  1. Send my deepest condolences to India, keep safe and don’t go around, stay home, people must discipline.

    1. For normal people, religion is more important than discipline. For politicians, election is more important than people’s life

    2. Dear foreign media please carry out this honest journalism.
      Our indian media, supreme court, army chiefs, election commission are sold to Modi government…
      Everyone life hangs here depending on how much money he can offer to blackmarketers of oxygen medicine..who r totally aided by modi and his administration
      There is shameless bidding of medicines going here in the midst of this epidemic….
      Actual death r 8-10x more than reported..
      There r corpses lying everywhere…
      Every 10 minutes an ambulance passes nearby..
      If u ask for oxygen medical via social media u will be jailed -go buy through blackmarketers..
      You people are our only hope to get rid of this evil dictator modi🙏🙏

    3. I am so annoyed of the world condolence now. Every time something happens, “I sEnD mY dEePeSt CoNdOlEnCeS.” I am not trying to criticize you, it is just that I have heard this statement a million times this past 2 years. Instead of prayers, send money. Prayers will not cure this virus.

    4. When a government spents all the money on implementing the armed forces special powers act and killing people in Assam, Naga Land, Kashmir, punjab, Assam and the Eastern States and spends very little money on hospitals and oxygen you know it has its priorities wrong. The spent all the money in oppressing people. According to UN resolution 98 http://unscr.com/en/resolutions/doc/98 Since the referendum under the UN security council resolutions 98, 91, 96, 80, 47, 38, 39, 51, 122, 123, 126, 307 http://unscr.com/en/resolutions/doc/98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-S8xyn1cg. where the people of Jammu and Kashmir could decide their own future was prevented by the government of India, Jammu and Kashmir is outside India and independent under international law and on the official UN Maps:

      But they spent all the money stationing 700000 troops there. A troop in front of each house. Rather than send on hospitals.

    5. The real infected number is much higher. According to WHO the real infected number is 500 millions and the variants are more deadly and spreads more quickly. The inflight flights from India are booming with Indian flooding in and US is forced to suspend the flights starting May 4 but it is too little too late for the second wave variants looming. Let’s pray for the 1.4 millions Indian people

  2. I am very sad seeing humans being helpless like this just because of you’re government failure😥😥😥

    1. @Stargazer W Chinese government controlled the Covid within 3 months across the country. Compared to India, the government does care its people and much more efficient

    2. According to WHO the real infected number is 500 millions and the variants are more deadly and spreads more quickly.

  3. This is just heartbreaking I’m in tears I can’t imagine what it’s like to be living there in that kind of trauma, fear and Sadness! India you’re all in my prayers stay strong it has to get better! ❤️🤎❤️

    1. Can’t believe people living living on the other side of world are so concerned for us. Your kindness is healing. Thank you

    2. @Alok omg your so nice! Of course I wish we could do more honestly like actually do something to help! My heart is with you

  4. My heart breaks for them. If Trump has taught us anything, it’s the danger of leaders prematurely declaring victory over COVID-19 😢😢😢

    1. If only we had a honest leader like Trump again. Now our quality of life gets worse every day with creepy Joe. The few commies that voted for VP Biden must be so ashamed of themselves.

    2. @Love JetFuel Of course they don’t mix. That would be like Bidens open border policy for highly infected illegal aliens. I guess that is Biden’s attempt at population control

    3. According to WHO the real infected number is 500 millions and the variants are more deadly and spreads more quickly.

  5. I see so many sikhs still providing service.. .satnam wahaguru…. Kudos to the sikhs. They are a race that provide service the whole world over and over

    1. Wtf… They are indians. Just because they wear turban, that doesn’t make them a new race. Their dna will always be Indian.

  6. I honestly always wondered when the situation is going to explode. The lack of health care, the sheer masses of people and the proximity. It was foreseeable. So sad.

    1. @Callsign Starbuck Viper Dragon i agree with you except the fact educated people were the ones who brought virus from china. And even in USA people didn’t wear any masks or followed lockdowns so education itself does not cover it.

    2. @roomforlove That’s exactly right. They should have been vaccinating and building up medical supplies during the lockdown.

  7. Goosebumps. Tears. Heartache. Pain. Anger. Disbelief. Went through all these emotions while watching. Many who lost their loved one will go through depression because they could not get oxygen. Prayers to India and to the ones going through the hardship.

    1. This tragedy is enterily Biden’s fault. He didn’t send any help because he’s more cruel, and more America first than TRUMP!

    2. Prayers also for the 7000 who die everyday in India from malnutrition…Its not from Covid so no one cares for some strange reason.

    3. The infected number is much higher. According to WHO the real infected number is 500 millions and the variants are more deadly and spreads more quickly. The inflight flights from India are booming with Indian flooding in and US is forced to suspend the flights starting May 4 but it is too little too late for the second wave variants looming. Let’s pray for the 1.4 millions Indian people

    4. @Greg Shiller and for the 2,555,000 that die annually from malnutrition.
      and the 200,000,000 that protested in part because of the Damage Done by the harsh lockdowns that made things worse.

  8. We all need to help them more. Our species is hurting, donate when possible to the betterment of humanity.

    1. Why when the death rate is 1 out of 6000, when here at home it’s 1 out of 665…India will be just fine!

  9. I can’t imagine what India is going through and it’s heartbreaking to see these people are suffering 😞. My thoughts and prayers for these people because this is beyond horrific for anyone to go through.😞

  10. It is sad to see people die and suffering , may God take care of them. May God bless India I pray from Myanmar.

  11. So many needless deaths worldwide. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Regardless of your beliefs, I hope you and your family are safe. Be safe and try to not get too angry with one another

  12. I think the charity shown here is the Hemkunt Foundation. Amazing people. Please donate to them if you can 🙏🏼

  13. Food Langar and Oxygen Langar are two essentials needs for human survivor, and Sikh temples are only places where they kindly and equally give them out to ordinary people. We really appreciate your kindness.

  14. As Muslim in month of Ramadan when I do my 5 daily prayer, I pray for India 🇮🇳, watching this video make me so mad, angry, depressed and a lot more emotions that can’t be described, India government is corrupted. All we can do is pray for them.

  15. I just can’t stand watching these people trying to survive .. breaks my heart, can’t stop
    crying seeing them so helpless, God bless the volunteers.

    1. @ab vevo it’s not easy just go but do something yes, through donation .. yes.
      Am also worked in healthservice & taking care of Covid patients too right now – @ab vevo!

  16. Don’t cry my sister, everything will be fine soon insha Allah ❤️ please pray for us❤️ we are both in political and medical emergency
