Story of the Week #792: TUESDAY June 29, 2021: ‘India’s Covid Nightmare’ by ZUMA Photographers Vijay Pandey and David Talukdar: Countries worldwide wrestling with new coronavirus surges are trying to ensure they aren’t hit by an India-style disaster. They face many of the same risks, including large populations that have shirked restrictions and fragile health systems shaken under the strain. In India, from 3 January 2020 to 29 June 2021, there have been 30,316,897 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 397,637 deaths, according to WHO. As of 19 June 2021, a total of 276,255,304 vaccine doses have been administered. The current COVID-19 surge, which first overwhelmed Maharashtra state and now is rolling through the rest of India, has humbled those who thought the country had bested the disease. As the country emerges from the world’s biggest and deadliest COVID-19 outbreak, scientists and policy makers say vaccinations will be key to India’s safety, confidence and economic recovery. Welcome to ‘India’s Covid Nightmare’

zReportage.com Story of the Week #791: TUESDAY June 22, 2021: ‘ROMANIA Gateway to Europe’ by Le Pictorium photographer Michael Bunel who has spent 10 years covering the migrant crisis in Europe: To get around the wall erected by the government of Hungarian President Viktor Orban, exiles wishing to access Europe are trying their luck, by passing through Romania. Every night, small groups try to slip through the cracks set up by the Romanian authorities. The journeys range from 2 to 15 kilometers depending on the path taken, through woods and fields under cover of darkness. The exiles living in abandoned houses in the village of Majdan tirelessly try to cross the border. Some of them have attempted to cross more than 50 times but hope remains high as they ‘Make The Game’ as they call it. Until recently most migrants crossing into Europe through the Balkan region went directly from Serbia to Hungary, not through Romania. Since then however, the borders into Croatia and Hungary, which are now heavily policed and fortified with razor-wire, have become largely impenetrable, and many believe that Romania is a better option. Welcome to ‘ROMANIA Gateway to Europe’
