INDIA has become a “valley of death” as the Covid crisis worsens and supplies of oxygen and vaccines fail, church leaders report.
The Revd Moumita Biswas, of the Church of North India, said: “We are in a death-trap now; it has become a valley of death. Before this wave hit, we just knew the numbers but now it’s our family members, our relatives, our church leaders who have died.”
Bishops have appealed for the prayers of the rest of the world. The CNI Bishop of Nagpur, the Rt Revd Andrew Rathod, said that churches had now closed owing to a lockdown in his diocese, but burial grounds were overflowing (News, 30 April, 23 April).

Albert Smallwoods knew poverty and hardship as a child.
His father was often unable to work due to illness, so the family had to scrape by on just a few pounds a week.
In the years since then, Albert has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to end poverty and save lives in the world’s poorest countries.
Now aged 83, he has pledged to leave a gift in his Will to Christian Aid.
Albert, who lives in the Waterside, is a lifelong humanitarian, a leading Church of Ireland layman and a stalwart supporter of Christian Aid.
