As he spoke, several small hospitals - only a few miles from where he stood in the capital - were sending out desperate messages about them running out of oxygen, putting patients lives at risk. The chief doctor of one of the hospitals - a specialist paediatric facility - told the BBC that our hearts were in our mouths because of the risk of children dying. They got supplies just in time, after a local politician intervened.

Indians desperate wait for Covid jab to get longer

Indians desperate wait for Covid jab to get longer © Getty Images India started its vaccine drive in January, amid plummeting cases and a fair bit of optimism. The country s very own Serum Institute of India (SII), the world s largest vaccine maker, was meant to supply most of the jabs as the country headed towards an ambitious target - covering 250 million people by July. As part of a World Health Organization (WHO)-led scheme, India even exported vaccines to countries that needed them. But three months on, Covid cases and deaths are spiking across the country. Only about 26 million people have been fully vaccinated out of a population of 1.4 billion, and about 124 million have received a single dose. Prime Minister Narendra Modi s government has cancelled exports, reneging on international commitments. Worse, vaccine stocks in the country have nearly dried up, and no-one is sure when more will arrive.
