Summary
COVID-19, high unemployment, and a crumbling public health system are combining to devastate rural communities in Bihar, India. Nalanda district faces a dire shortage of basic medicines, equipment, trained healthcare workers, food and work opportunities. FORRAD, our NGO partner in India, has been distributing food rations, basic medicines and equipment in Nalanda. But after weeks of COVID relief, FORRAD recognizes that what is most urgently needed is paid employment in the local area.
