A firsthand account from World Vision India staff about the devastating second wave of COVID-19
Though many of us in the U.S. are starting to see the pandemic in the rearview mirror, the COVID-19 crisis continues to wreak havoc around the world — especially in India, where a devastating increase in cases has overwhelmed the healthcare system. In this video, Mridula Narayan, a World Vision communications associate, shares about the new devastations rural communities are experiencing as the second wave moves from urban centers into remoter regions.
