The report said he watched two men in beds nearby scream for medicine only to die within hours when their oxygen appeared to run out . But he s not the only one. Desperate pleas scatter social media with the names of patients and desperate families pleading with Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal for more supplies.
