plants to produce oxygen and in many oxygen plans is up and running inside a covert $1000.00 treatment center in new delhi it can support up to 20 patients at a time vaccination efforts are also stepping up lizabeth purana reports from new delhi. we are in one of delhi 76 public schools which are being used as vaccination centers i am getting my vaccine after trying for days to make an appointment all adults everyone over the age of 18 was eligible for a vaccine from saturday but delhi like most other states doesn't have enough i have had to wait for more than 3 hours in a line like hundreds of other people to get this does and via is seeing children it is not just of vaccines but of life saving equipment of oxygen international aid is continuing to arrive the indian air force is using is airlifting cryogenic oxygen tank is from germany delivering it around the country but people

are still dying because of the shortages the southern state of karnataka is the latest place where 24 car than 1000 and other patients died after their oxygen ran out the shortages the pressure on the health care system is why india supreme court is asking the government to consider imposing a nationwide lockdown but not before making the arrangements for hundreds of millions of daily wage earners people who have to work every single day to survive so that it won't. impact them like the nationwide lockdown that the government imposed last year. was also aravinda sign as chairman and chief surgeon at madame's a liver transplant institutes and a lead investigator in medications to treat cove of 19 he says he hopes the situation will be under control in the next week or so. i think to an extent the scale wasn't anticipated and wasn't talked you know in december or january that we

will have such a. good example of my hospital which is a 1000 bed coordinated care hospital and going down daily we normally use about 3 to 3.5 metric tons of oxygen every day we have now leading to us about 11 metric tons and somehow we are managing to get in about 6 to 7 metric tons every day so we are still falling short by about 4 or 5 and that means we have to cut down the use of oxygen within the hospital we have to reduce the number of oxygen beds that can be available for cold patients so it is a very difficult situation how long it will take is the 1000000 dollar question i wish i knew what the answer but we certainly hope it's going to happen in the next week or 10 days so certainly non-code can is suffering the elective going to stampede and cases among the non-kosher diseases are being was full on these people are not being admitted however we are counting on good life saving what transplants

we are just not doing maybe 20 or 30 percent of them which don't need immediate surgery but the rest of the liver transplant us and getting on but this is at the country's premier hospital it may not be the case. they're under modi's hindu nationalist party suffered defeat sent a fiercely contested regional election seen as a barometer of his handling of the crisis voters in the battleground state of west bend go overwhelmingly back the all india trinamool congress over all of these b j p party b j p also failed to win until the southern states and canada were fine functional elections overall. very covert 1000 will be my 1st priority i was working and will keep working to improve the pandemic situation across the state our officials are already working in this direction the swearing in will be a low key event because of the coven $1000.00 situation although we had a landslide victory. more medical aid is heading to india $300.00 ton shipments

including oxygen canisters and personal protective equipment has taken off from cutter countries around the world are sending emergency supplies and the u.s. has promised 100000000 dollars worth of aid. or warnings africa could face a similar emergency to india dr may soon the hub is the co-director of the sudan covert 1000 research group she says the situation there is very concerning. for a long period of time before culbut our deaths have been largely invisible except when you're experiencing them they are not invisible to my colleagues in sudan who are part of a wide network of useful tears going out to try to measure the impact of mortality in their communities they tell a very different story my colleague monastic who is 22 year old nurse speaks of daily professions daily daily production processions of puna rolls of it feeling like this is nothing like she's ever experienced before and sometimes it's hard for

her to wonder whether this doesn't almost seem like the end of her world ever at least for a world as she knew it so i think it is difficult when you are not living that reality to not believe the official figures but time and time again the official figures have been proven wrong and i think it is time to dismantle this notion that those official figures represent the reality of people on the ground we speak daily with friends and colleagues who are moving from hospital to hospital to try to find hospital beds for loved ones and failing to do so we speak daily with people who are seeking care not just for old but go for or other illnesses but the hospitals are overwhelmed and they are not able to get care for. you know kidney disease or cancer or or even for preventable issues so this has an impact far and wide and i think we are really feeling it. i think when i look at india some of what we feel is going on in sudan and perhaps elsewhere. latin america is struggling to

meet the demand for covert 1000 vaccines in argentina or cases of my past the 3000000 mark only a small number of people have received the job the president's reposing restrictions and curfew says daniel shrine the reports we want to silence. the numbers keep rising argentina like the rest of latin america is suffering a 2nd wave of covered nineteen's infections and deaths the government has imposed a further 3 weeks of new tougher lockdown restrictions a nighttime curfew and schools returning to online classes the authorities say their main aim is to relieve the strain on hospitals or you don't say that you're not no more support today the how system can cope with another patient not one more we've reached our limit the number of contaminated patients even if it doesn't go up has reached reichian point it's overflowing we can keep extending measures every 15 days or 2 more years but what we've got to do is test and vaccinate.

the arrival of vaccines has been slow to sporadic the argentinian government says it's doing all it can to find new supplies but so far any a small percentage of people have had both jabs the elderly and those with already serious health conditions in the meantime the only other option is to keep asking is people to be patient and cooperate. people need to be more aware and realise that our hospitals are full that the health workers are exhausted and we only to understand what we as citizens need to do to fight this. there have been demonstrations against the government measures the argentine economy already facing severe difficulties before the pandemic has been hit hard and is it that well mustn't get out we're trapped in a situation which we understand is for our own good but we've got no help from anyone to help us fight through the nomic. the constant requests to pack up early.

stay indoors keep your distance has become for many an annoying drood in the background even though they understand that it could be a matter of life or death 3000000 infections is a grim statistic in a horror story that also includes growing unemployment homeless some public see figures that will only keep rising until the coronavirus is brought on the old. one or al-jazeera one of cyrus. one of me and most most powerful rebel groups the christian independence army says it shut down a military helicopter now the time of mo mark fighting between the army and ethnic armed groups has intensified since the general seized power in february we can cross live thanks to scott hyde like he joins us from bangkok in neighboring thailand scott what do we know about this helicopter apparently being brought in time oh we know what happened to this according to the chaos

the kitchen independence army a spokesman for the group saying that this took place just after 10 am local time today on monday and what they say it was used was a show what appears to be i should say a shoulder mounted missile system that was launched at the helicopter and brought it down they are saying that this came after air attacks overnight and in through the morning both by fighter jets and helicopters and this was the retaliation they say the ethnic armed organization k.o.a. was a response to the military the myanmar military airstrikes that happened overnight but then also this is something we've seen hala kind of staging up over the last several weeks when it comes to this part of me or in the north with the kitchen ethnic areas held areas as well as in other areas around the country. and this kind of appears to be part of in the span of fighting in some of these areas controlled by the ethnic groups why what is this happening.

yes well definitely up there in the north with the shit in this as we've just discussed you know this is what's been happening for the last several weeks and it's the 1st time though that there's a claim that aircraft from myanmar is military has been brought down we've seen this also there are 2 main areas kitchen and then the korean area which is right along the border the eastern border of myanmar with the border here in thailand and that's where you've seen also over the last several weeks with the korean ethnic group held areas there have been battles going on we know that there have been air strikes as well no aircraft been have been brought down there but what we saw last week is one of the groups one of the armed factions in the korean held areas they overtook an outpost by the minimum military right on the border with thailand we know that there have been airstrikes as a result of that but also over the last several weeks the fighting has intensified the overall why this is most likely happening is that a lot of these ethnic armed organizations have thrown their weight their support behind the protest movement across since the coup on february 1st so this is kind

of like you know you're seeing the protests on the streets across miller but then also now things are kicking up in the borderlands where these ethnic armed organizations control territory that has also been kicking up with the central myanmar army so it's interesting to see how this is you know if you got it on the streets as well is in the in the jungles if you will and this is though the 1st time we've seen an aircraft claim that an aircraft has been brought down since the uptick in fighting since the coup. that brings the latest from bangkok thank you scott. still ahead here on al-jazeera. the controversial tax reforms are shallow after days of violent process in colombia.
