Madhukar Rainbow Children's Hospital in South Delhi's Malviya Nagar sent out an SOS tweet on their oxygen running low. It was a desperate cry for help as the medical oxygen was running out. This comes a day after 12 people, including a doctor, died due to an oxygen shortage at Batra Hospital.??
The continuous surge in COVID cases in the Capital has made hospitals struggle to keep up with the rising count of patients.
?But for this children's hospital, hope came in the form of AAP's Raghav Chadha, who said five cylinders had been arranged.?
This happened just after he spoke to NDTV.?
?"This news is very painful. Their lives could have been saved... by giving oxygen, Delhi should be given its quota (of oxygen, so) such deaths are not seen anymore. Delhi required 976 tonnes and yesterday only 312 was given. How can Delhi breathe?" said CM Arvind Kejriwal as e consoled the deaths of the 12 people who died at Batra Hospital.?
Delhi's lockdown has been extended by one week. This is the 2nd extension and the capital is facing a shortage of oxygen in an uphill battle against the pandemic. ???
