India's health system is collapsing as Covid variant sweeps country:

Gravediggers burn piles of victims to keep up and crematorium furnaces MELT due to round-the-clock use

* More than 200,000 cases per day recorded on average in the last week, 20 times as many as two months ago

* UK banned travel from India Monday but acted 'weeks too late' as more than 100 in Britain have Indian strain

* Boris Johnson to answer questions tonight over why 900 people per day allowed to flow into UK from India

* New Indian Covid-19 variant has two mutations which scientists fear could enable it to evade vaccines

* This B.1.617 variant is believed to spread more easily and could potentially be more lethal than other strains

* Medics across India say patients are significantly younger than in first wave, with two thirds under-45 in Delhi

* Young people experiencing 'increased severity' doctors say, particularly on their lungs, heart and kidneys

* Delhi imposed week-long lockdown as city of 29 million struggles with fewer than 150 beds for critical care

* Across India crematoria have been working around the clock, cracking chimneys and melting iron frames
