URGENT CALL FOR AID IN INDIA: NEARLY 1 MILLION COVID-19 CASES REGISTERED IN 3 DAYS

A second wave of Covid cases has devastated India. Every second, four new cases of Covid-19 are being recorded with two new deaths per minute. Cases are surging by hundreds of thousands per day, hitting record peaks with graveyards completely overwhelmed.

There are not enough hospital beds, ventilators, or food. Worse, families are driving over 200 miles to receive treatment–and they are often being turned away.

“India’s coronavirus second wave is rapidly sliding into a devastating crisis, with hospitals unbearably full, oxygen supplies running low, desperate people dying in line waiting to see doctors. Each day, the government reports more than 300,000 new infections, a world record, and India is now seeing more new infections than any other country by far, almost half of all new cases in a global surge.” – The New York Times

“Almost every hospital is on the edge. If oxygen runs out, there is no leeway for many patients,” Dr. Sumit Ray.

Islamic Relief teams are working hard to get oxygen, PPE, and other essential supplies to those who need treatment. We can only do this with your support.

Please read, share, and donate—our ability to help depends on it!

One of the Largest Populations in the World; One of the Most in Need

India’s vast population size and rapid growth mean that while the percent of Indians living in poverty has fallen, the absolute number of individuals living in poverty in India’s poorest states has actually increased.

That coupled with the region being prone to natural disasters like monsoons and floods means that hundreds of thousands of people face displacement, injury, or worse.

Did you know…

  • One-third of India’s population survives on less than $1.25 a day, accounting for approximately 1/3 of the world’s poor
  • Almost half of all children in India are moderately or severely stunted in growth
  • 1 in every 3 of the world’s malnourished children live in India (UNICEF)
  • Malnutrition is a common occurrence
  • Educational opportunities for women and girls are disproportionate to those of men and boys

With all this considered, one thing remains clear: The people of India are resilient and, with the support of donors like you, families in need there can access opportunities to break the chains of poverty and move toward success.

Islamic Relief’s Dedication to India

Islamic Relief has been working in India since 1994, often collaborating with local relief organizations to ensure that assistance is delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible. Islamic Relief India opened in 2008 to implement development programs to help alleviate growing needs for humanitarian aid.

Here’s just a sampling of recent efforts for families in need across India:

  • Delivering emergency relief to survivors of natural disasters
  • Providing vital food aid, including Qurbani meat and Ramadan food boxes
  • Opening access to educational opportunities for vulnerable communities
