Coronavirus: How India descended into Covid-19 chaos

On Monday, a senior official from India's federal government told journalists that there was no shortage of oxygen in Delhi or anywhere else in the country. As he spoke, several small hospitals - only a few miles from where he stood in the capital - were sending out desperate messages about them running out of oxygen, putting patients' lives at risk. The chief doctor of one of the hospitals - a specialist paediatric facility - told the BBC that 'our hearts were in our mouths' because of the risk of children dying. They got supplies just in time, after a local politician intervened.
