Canadian charities join forces
to raise funds for India
Ottawa, (ATB) – As the devastation brought
on by the second wave of COVID-19
continues to unfold in India, leading
Canadian aid agencies – through the
Humanitarian Coalition – are launching an
appeal to raise funds and rush emergency
assistance to people in need.
The number of cases of COVID-19
has surpassed 20 million and the death toll
has passed 200,000. The deadly surge in
infections is overwhelming health services
across the country, leading to a lack of
beds, healthcare personnel, and oxygen.
The wave of critical illness, coupled
with lockdowns and curfews, is having a
serious impact on livelihoods and food
security across the country.
Humanitarian Coalition
members are already actively responding
to the crisis by supporting the healthcare
system with oxygen, ventilators, field
hospitals and PPE, promoting COVID
vaccination and safe hygiene practices, and
ensuring food security and basic survival
for vulnerable families.
