a 6 year lung infection. he gently needs to be hospitalized but his father says even this week shipped endangerment is a blessing. for these people who are working 24 hours providing oxygen cylinders otherwise it's very difficult to get oxygen offered to get a bed in a hospital or for that morning this morning i visited 15 or 20 hospitals to look for the best for him and you know there isn't a single bed all of them refused to let me. put the last 2 weeks. that has been facing a stiff your shortage of medical oxygen. this isn't life saving the last resort a free oxygen service run by costs a hell of a sikh group one in 2 years you are considered the just they are going to be secondary to the central tenet of service in sick because in. several of them have already been infected. but those who have done us the aren't afraid these see we
9:03 am
must do something to save these nights gergen david and i go home to see what was it be the time right over by by pass never stop moving on the above is the even support we're getting ahead of what i'm about is allowing us to see the story that he likes and this is a time that people are even afraid to have i don't respect. every human that. i'm going to. the group has 9th shops doubting me of my finance person and. the oxygen is provided for free at this instant then we all be rushed to help many hospitals in delhi has taught taking in your patients because of the often cry for putting out s.o.s. messages on twitter begging for help as they only have ours some banking minutes of oxygen left. this hospital is one of the previous night was a clue she after reading for hours at oxygen diving authorities on twitter and even
9:04 am
reducing extant rules to subsistence level to make it last longer the hospital and got supplies in the nick of time doctors here tell us that supplies that used to last them to wreak now evaporate in 36 ounce they cannot predict it to next round will reach them one time turning over the patients followed just to good reasons is heartbreaking for dr wendy to feels many of these places. in this profession because it is because they wanted to help other people through their sickness and in this if they're not it would be. bad by itself is a big thing and it was. a very few do get lucky. back at the oxygen service sinha has finally managed to arrange a bed for his son immediately he's still in the woods another patient. to leap
9:05 am
into the oxygen crisis here. every live good breath is acute. and joining us now to talk more about volunteer efforts and helping the sick is in a yacht sink kakar she is a health activist with the peoples health will have meant and she is joining us from india thank you so much for being on the program today how are you managing to get relief to the sick when there's so little oxygen to go around. i mean it's extremely extremely challenging i mean you know one aspect is that date is basically oxygen to go down because you know the daily early quiet deallocation of daily is not even being met and the 2nd issue is with regards to information gaps now even what you know even in cases where there is oxygen available to it runs out very fast people don't get in the way it's available or how you thought it. through
9:06 am
you know i mean often that is available to the feeling but people don't have a decent and does. what they need a lot of this is very very difficult but we do have linkages with you know other waters you know groups with people who like to shorten your story who are providing lots engine and we do our best. to get them oxygen another big challenges that you know that the prices that are such and have to do these kind of attitude and when you're dealing with the supply are you going to lean over the delegitimation over that it's being sold on the black market and that you know that that's a big problem because also i mean a lot of people can't afford these extremely high prices so we often on to have to sort of one reason for individual patients you know is that it's required we have been hearing that more foreign aid is arriving foreign help to the country is that something that you're noticing on the ground and if you're not noticing it yet i mean how hopeful are you for the future prospects in the next weeks and the next
9:07 am
day. i think a lot of patients particularly that are you know providing oxygen then i go to seek organizations that have set up what i call oxygen longers which is basically i mean it's a policeman anyone can come to get. and i think a lot of these organizations are deceiving fodder need you know organizations are flying an oxygen concentrator does what individuals providing these in their homes got to know yesterday that you know mentally it does that from of the lord have been just you present to government hospitals so hopefully that things will see an improvement but i'm not sure it is. a system has walked not. only. very much you know thinking he actions and. the shortages and you know we're not to the. just born of the crisis that we're
9:08 am
seeing and that we will be seeing in the coming days and as you take that really proactive approach i mean just to fill these gaps in capacity that the system does have in india tell us i mean how are you coping on a day to day basis you're organization yourself are you receiving for example you know some sort of psychological support in dealing with what you're dealing with every day i mean this is life and death. i mean i think it's extremely distressing you know a lot of fuss and aren't getting enough sleep very usually walking around the clock that have been b.s. red you know some of us have been sleeping once in 48 oz. data is a sense of you know despair when you're not good because patients. you know you are having to help patients get oxygen at home but now we also get a so less calls from patients when admitted in hospitals and that's a complicated because when somebody teaches out for an i.c.u. bed you also have to ensure that the hospital has adequate oxygen and you know
9:09 am
we're not we don't have access to a system of resources to be able to go all of that and i think i don't think a lot of us actually processing the emotional toll that this is taking you know a lot of young volunteers are dealing with cases great patients or not surviving i think that is this you know agenda geared for not being uber google everything could really save the patient and i think that all very very aware and all denominations that we're facing. you know out for numbers a publicly get constant calls for help who just want to some people who are not able to just want to some people. but yes we're trying to set up a more organized form all you know providing support and psychosocial support to each other. and in fact yesterday i spoke to. him and asking her if she can do some group sessions online for one and. every can deal with this collective trauma thing and i also and he and i also see also you know for the what's going to happen once all of this you know all of those down. you doing that are going to work under
9:10 am
difficult circumstances. and we know that you know your time is also very precious so so we thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us here on news to tell us a little bit about what you're experiencing there in a volunteer capacity in the country as as the death toll mounts as we mentioned in the. health activist with the people's health movement we appreciate it thank you. now to help with the coronavirus crisis and the lack of oxygen germany is among the countries which has been sending help in fact it's about to send its 2nd shipment of emergency aid to the country the air force has already sent a plane with 120 ventilators and medicine and also one board a team of medical experts several european states and other countries including the u.s. and taiwan have also joined in this particular aid effort. let's
9:11 am
bring in benjamin alvarez who is standing by in one starts and as you can see he is where the shipment is set to take off in the coming hours tell us benjamin germany we've heard is joining some 40 other countries offering aid to india the 1st flight took off on saturday what's happening today there. good morning sara that strike as you can see behind me there's an 8400 m. that's a cargo aircraft that has been loaded by a machine that is able to generate oxygen as you just said on saturday the 1st plane arrived a 350 a plane it's usually used by the government with the team and that team is already assessing this u. 2 asian in delhi for this 1st shipment to our eye if the plane has been loaded around 30 minutes ago with the 1st part of this mobile machine that will be able to
9:12 am
generate up to 400000 liters of oxygen a day the plane has been loaded it's with will be parted in about an hour and 2 more we have a 2nd plane off the same type of the a $400.00 and it's also taking the 2nd part of this machine that will be built there will be interesting is that germany is not sending only the aid but also the experts that will stay in india for at least 14 days to train their indian counterparts so they can also use this machine that will be able to generate those off today and that is so desperately needed in the country right now tell us a little bit more about what exactly is being delivered there and how significant it might be how can it really make a dent. what is being delivered is a module that will be installed next to a hospital in delhi and we talked to some experts also from the german air force and they told us that they will have the capacity and the will be sure that it will
9:13 am
be used immediately because one of the fears is that the international aid that is arriving is not immediately used or is in some containers for example or in custom unions it imports so it's pretty interesting it's impressive pretty impressive machine that they loaded up into these your plane is well it takes their air did we usually breathe it compresses it and then it generates that oxygen that can be little bottles for example but also big it tanks for hospitals and hospitals as we heard also in the report are desperately needed right now so for now they say that these and more you will be in india full the next 3 months but i don't close the pants off the situation off the pandemic and the country how long it will be their station who will be used to their benjamin dollar as cooper joining us from when stuff where this shipment is about to take off thank you so much for your reporting . a sick look at some other stories making
