whether policing fate has contributed to the tragedy. an exuberant celebration. ending in a terrible tragedy and. massive crowds were leaving the jewish festival of loud. they stumble down slippery stairs into a narrow passageway panic or in the chaos victims including children by the trampled all suffocated to death. already it was one of my legs were trapped i couldn't move them over there with my face down i could lift my head a little. slow i tried not to strain too much and keep calm strengthen my faith god will save us this was the 1st mass religious gathering since israel had restrictions and the turnout was much higher than expected. as many as 90000 people showed up to the event organizers had received permission

for just 10000. people that have been blocked the way we're just waiting for many of grants nor are really just. for a year and. courage to want to go out and practice there are religious beliefs and ceremonies. will leave the head of israel's day of rest the chabad friends and families began gathering to say goodbye to the victims the government is promising a ferrite investigation into the 2nd stances surrounding the crash finding out what happened will be crucial for the country's ultra orthodox community now plans to into mourning. correspondent tanya crime in jerusalem welcome tania as we heard in the report this is happening just as the country has reopened after a successful vaccination rollout. that's right this

just a sense that the country returns to some kind of. more than half of the population here is vaccinated and a lot of frustrations where lifted lately here in israel now the sense stay in this religious communities where that they want to go back to some kind of normality taking part in this what is a usually a very joyous event you know marked by bonfires and dancing all night despite the fact that there were concerns by health officials said the voice before this event took place but there were mostly a pandemic related they didn't want to see so many people gathering at amounts meron so all of us supposed to be a very. joyful event turned into this massive tragedy. what factors will investigators be looking at. well the have

a lot of factors to look at on the one hand of course it will look at the security arrangements that were made but also the arrangements by the different religious sects that are involved in those festivities on the other hand there's a lot of footage and images on social media that are circulating off the event itself also the moments before this stumpy it happened and of course to eyewitnesses that have been talking about what happened to them you know the very harrowing experience i made and a lot of focus will be on that very narrow pathway where. the system pete happened and what is also interesting here there is a discussion because of course this festival is happening every year except for. last year when the severely restricted because of the coronavirus pandemic. that there have been warnings for many years now that this holy site is not really made or it's not safe for thousands and thousands of people to gather there and that

this was a tragedy waiting to happen. well absolutely and the focus here all day was you know that people were still looking in the course of the day for their loved ones for family members that had to be brought back. also the victims and of course the hospital but the victims were identified over half of them were laid to rest this is right now the focus specially in the us who are the docs community but also in israel as a community you know to come over this shock and what happened there overnight. thank you. now to india which has posted another global record for corona

virus infections with more than 385000 new cases in a day vaccines the latest critical supply to run out with several states reporting shortages countries around the world are sending shipments of medicines and much needed oxygen. but the scramble for oxygen as demand continues to skyrocket with hospitals low on supply desperate indians flock to oxygen plants in an attempt to save their loved ones. they bring their own cylinders to have them filled and refilled but even here it's a struggle. i've been waiting for hours. hospitals are overwhelmed and shutting their doors. even ambulances have to wait. with patients gasping for breath in the streets. to get on with the today i learned how bad the coronavirus pandemic is i've been looking for oxygen since morning but

to no avail and we can't get a bed in the hospital there makeshift health facilities are springing up in sports complexes and banquet halls. oxygen supplies make up some of the aid that's been delivered to india from across the world the international relief effort has become a major mission. but there's also frustration. india is densely populated. yet mass meetings including for state elections in the state of west bengal have been allowed to go ahead. people have been gathering a lot there's been a lot of gathering in terms of people going out in the markets there's been some rallies going on and people have been going to different festivals. for all health workers across india the situation has become a nightmare. going. right to the play by.

our government but the battle to keep this country breathing must go on. if you don't if you don't even do. well teaching good us army is an epidemiologist at the london school of medicine and dentistry a welcome to the w the world health organization says in just been hit by a perfect storm of mass gatherings contagious a variance and low vaccination rates of what could be indian government have done to prevent this becoming a crisis. we are certainly add in computer government to that but fix this crisis has actually been unfolding for the last 6 weeks i'm all for relief every we've been seeing exponential rises in many states in india and no action has been taken by government what's really puzzling is that even now when exponential rise a continuing racing doubling of cases every 5 to 6 days there's no action being taken

for restrictions and not down to most days and we've really hearing what wes they already have been election rallies until recently is still not in lockdown elections are going ahead most states still only have weekend curfews on 110th of use and none of that is sufficient to curb the spread of the pandemic and what's even worse is that the impact this in terms of debts which is devastating right now is only a reflection of cases from about 3 weeks ago we know that he says that deaths always lag infections and what's really concerning is that this is continuing to get worse that it's going to get worse over the next month unless we do something to actually contain infection at this point in time because the debts will continue to rise very suddenly for the next month that's baked in but what happens after that is entirely dependent on what we do now ok so that's quite a condemnation you put so much of this down to government incompetence so where does that start does that start at the state level or is that

a lack of leadership from the national government. i would say it's definitely both i mean as state governments have power in. much of india to essentially control local restrictions control local lockdowns but they've been drilled out by state ministers it's very clear that the central government and the prime minister has an absolutely nothing to go to space even now there's no long term plan as to how to deal with this there's a level of firefighting going on to deal with the hospitals being all out of the debts now but nothing being done to contain transmission which is going to impact the deaths of the next 3 weeks but anyone with a television anywhere with a radio or anyone with access to the outside world could say about you me lockdowns you need vaccines you need lots of things so what is stopping state authours hears from doing this. i want to see conflict a life of me understand i mean i know that there's a prioritization of politics of for example the election investing goal but what

happened what's happening in many other states is something i do understand i mean there's a sort of thinking that knockdowns hugely impact the poor which is absolutely true but so does call fit and you know letting a pandemic grow i mean to get is not going to have wonderful and poor people the right thing to do here is to put a lot down in peace and support people who need support with financial and practical assistance. will we thank you for your for your. views that dr thank you so much for joining us i think to go to saudi from the london school of medicine and dentistry. when just coronavirus health emergency has eclipsed another medical crisis in the country being impact on people's mental health repeated lockdowns on the fear of illness and death are taking a toll especially on the young who make up so much of the population. breakdowns feel anxiety these other words 29 year old granny uses when asked about

a particular worry for those of increased health risk like children with down's syndrome now biotech as a part for approval of its vaccine for young people. visit a family who've been trying to protect their vulnerable daughter for more than a year. physical exercises are important especially for flavia the 14 year old has down's syndrome normally she doesn't do that with her mother but her physio therapist but since the coronavirus pandemic started the family has severely restricted their contacts because for flavia covered infection could be fatal. and infect your own booked by mention madonsela of people with down syndrome an infection harbors much greater risks and. additionally we know very little about long term effects of this illness so even if she were to survive and in fact you wouldn't know what would come after that. this is after the 1st family and how.

therefore the family keeps to themselves physical contact with others is restricted the children are only ok finally allowed to play with. school happens online all of this puts a strain on flavia. go by i cried quite a bit because school was closed so we had to do it digitally and that was stressful . and massive our flat. to top 5 we've noticed that flavia suffers enormously from this loneliness she sits in her room for hours she talks to herself more and more she makes noise she just isolates the self. want a cup of thaw the parents have already been given the chance of getting flavia vaccinated is most important to the family by on take has completed clinical trials
