Shanghai Lockdown Deficiencies

Millions of citizens in Shanghai, China, are suffering from a shortage of medical care and essential supplies due to the city's lockdown, which began in late March.

​

According to Wang Zhumin, her 77-year-old father, who required dialysis three times a week, has been unable to acquire treatment for the previous seven days.

​

Lucy Lu and her parents have been under complete lockdown since March, and local officials have distributed only one food package in the past 20 days.

​

As protesters screamed from their houses, "we want supplies," a video shared on the Chinese social media network Weibo showed a drone urging that they stop protesting.

Some of the residents in Shanghai use social media to protest the issue and share their experiences living under strictly lockdown situations.
