Six hospitals in India’s capital Delhi have completely run out of oxygen, and more said they only have a few hours of oxygen supply left, as a second wave of COVID grips the capital. 

More than 99% of intensive care beds are full, with a recorded confirmation of 16 000 000 infections. 

Prime Minister Modi headed a meeting on Thursday to discuss the oxygen supply issue. The Government announced in a statement that oxygen canisters will be airlifted across the country and put on direct trains.
