As India faces a deadly second wave of COVID-19, WaterAid has launched an emergency response to bring vital water, toilet and hygiene facilities to health centers and vulnerable communities as well as urgent support to frontline sanitation workers. The country is seeing more than 400,000 new cases every day and with the exodus of people from cities, this horrific wave has now spread to parts of rural India, threatening to overburden health centers with already weak infrastructure. WaterAid is raising money to support an emergency response in 50 rural health centers to rapidly repair existing water infrastructure and install temporary facilities such as handwashing stations, portable toilets and water storage units.
