New Zealand Herald readers have raised a staggering $203,791 for World Vision in just three days to provide relief for India's Covid-19 crisis.
The money will go towards desperately needed supplies of oxygen, beds, medical supplies and food in India, where daily new cases have topped 400,000 and the official death tally is almost 4000 a day. Experts believe both figures are an undercount.
