People in India are dying in the streets amid a catastrophic surge of COVID-19 infections — prompting an oxygen shortage and mass cremations to deal with the overwhelming amount of bodies.
“The virus is swallowing our city’s people like a monster,” said Mamtesh Sharma, an official at the Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat crematorium in Bhopal.
Sharma said the unprecedented crush of bodies has forced them to skip individual ceremonies and rituals that are Hindu traditions.
“We are just burning bodies as they arrive,” Sharma said. “It is as if we are in the middle of a war.”
In some of the hardest-hit cities, bodies were being burned in makeshift facilities that were running mass cremations.
The country’s Health Ministry on Sunday reported another 2,767 fatalities in the past 24 hours, bringing the country’s mounting death count to 192,311.
People are dying in the streets in India as the COVID-19 crisis there worsens.

But the figure is believed to be much higher since suspected cases are not included and many COVID-19 deaths are being attributed to underlying conditions.
