Delhi sees deadliest month amid raging pandemic
India has the second highest number of Covid cases in the world. November was the deadliest month for the capital Delhi, which has been struggling to contain the virus, with more than 100 deaths on some days.
The death toll has overwhelmed the Indian capital's crematoriums, where many families say goodbye to their loved ones in ancient rituals.
A lack of social distancing at the city’s markets has been blamed for the recent uptick. Some hospitals have run out of ICU beds - with pollution and cold weather adding to the burden.
Cases are starting to fall, but doctors warn that if people don’t take care, the situation could get worse again, as the BBC's South Asia correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan reports.
