Around the world people and companies have donated oxygen and PPE, and millions of dollars. But a law is stopping charities from distributing aid to smaller groups, making it hard to reach those in need. Donations to help India fight its raging COVID-19 outbreak are flooding in from around the world, but a new law is preventing many nonprofits from using the money effectively. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government passed an amendment to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act last September. The amendment effectively prevents local NGOs from redistributing donations to smaller aid groups.
