Sadanand Patel, 30, is receiving such little treatment that he s scared he will die in the very hospital that s meant to save him. He told CNN, through laboured breathing from his hospital bed: I am very scared, if my health gets critical I don t think they will be able to save me. The report said he watched two men in beds nearby scream for medicine only to die within hours when their oxygen appeared to run out . But he s not the only one. Desperate pleas scatter social media with the names of patients and desperate families pleading with Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal for more supplies.

Scott Morrison is standing by his decision to ban Australian citizens from returning from India.
