A second coronavirus wave is ravaging many parts of India and the health services continue to struggle. Two doctors in Delhi and Mumbai share their experiences of working under increasingly difficult circumstances. They tell us about the hurt they are feeling as they try to do their jobs and save lives.

And three 麻豆社 journalists in India reveal what it鈥檚 like to report on the ground in Ahmedabad, Delhi and Mumbai as their family and friends are infected by Covid-19. Both the doctors and reporters use the word 鈥渉elplessness鈥� to describe how many people are feeling.

We also hear from the young volunteers who are doing their best to help people in whatever way they can - from cooking and delivering food to Covid patients at home - to sourcing oxygen canisters or hospital beds for those in a more serious condition.
