INDIA COVID-19 RELIEF
COVID-19 in India
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our partner started to be involved in relief work from the last week of March 2020. Due to the numerous lockdowns in India, the economy came to a stand-still. This forced thousands of migrant workers to leave the cities where they were employed because they were without jobs and could not afford to pay rent or meet their basic needs for food, water, and shelter. Many then were required to walk for days to return to their home villages. Travel restrictions prevented some of them from reaching their
homes and they were turned back, returning to the cities where they now camp any place that they can find.
India has the second highest COVID-19 cases and the third highest death due to COVID-19 in the world.
