On April 27 360,927 people<\/a> tested positive for COVID-19<\/a> in India. The deadly second wave has overrun hospitals with images of patients dying while awaiting treatment a stark reality of the pandemic overseas. Actress Priyanka Chopra<\/a> has taken to social media with an impassioned speech urging followers to assist in the crisis.<\/p>\n

“Why do we need to care? Why is it so urgent right now? I’m sitting in London and I’m hearing from my friends and family in India about how hospitals are at capacity, there are no rooms in ICUs,” Chopra says on Instagram. “Ambulances are too busy, oxygen supply is less, crematoriums having mass cremations because the volume of deaths is so much.”<\/p>\n

“India is my home and India is bleeding. And we, as a global community, need to care. And I’ll tell you why we need to care: Because unless everyone is safe, no one is safe.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“And I understand a lot of people must be angry thinking about why we are in this place in the first place? Why is this happening?” she continues. “Well, we’ll address that. We’ll address that after we stop the urgency.”<\/p>\n
