Channel 4 News published this video item, entitled “Thousands of Indian children orphaned by Covid in just a few weeks” – below is their description.
It’s yet another heartbreaking cost of the pandemic – the devastating second wave of Covid which swept through India this spring left thousands of children orphaned in just a few weeks.
Charities and NGOs fear that those who’ve been left alone without parents – especially from the poorest families – will now be vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation.
And they’re rushing to save India’s Covid orphans from slavery and sex work.
