A couple who have lost six family members in three days in India amid the country's worsening Covid crisis say they feel "helpless".
Afshan Haque from Staffordshire said she and her husband, Shamim, are trying to help relatives but fear the situation there is out of control.
She said two extended family members died in one day and they are "shocked" at the extent of the crisis.
Mrs Haque, from Acton Trussell, near Stafford, said the couple come from a family of doctors and have been "signposting" family members towards help and appealing for bed availability on social media.
