Prince Charles has called on world leaders to 'help India' as he said he was 'deeply saddened' by photographs revealing the toll of coronavirus on the country. Heir to the throne Charles said the British Asian Trust, which he founded in 2007, has launched an Oxygen For India emergency appeal. The prince said: 'Like many others, I have a great love for India and have enjoyed many wonderful visits to the country. Another investigation by NDTV found crematoriums in Delhi recorded 3,096 Covid cremations last week, while the official Covid death tally stood at just 1,938. 'In a country like India, a huge country, you can't hide a death in this country, if there is any mismatch that will come out,' he said.
