The Wider Image: Indians share the stories of loved ones they lost to the pandemic
Humera Ulfat, 42, a housewife, shows a picture on her phone of her father Mohammad Ashraf Baba, a shopkeeper, who died due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as she poses for a photograph, in Srinagar, September 26, 2020. "It pains me whenever I recall my dad lying on a hospital bed helplessly. Doctors did not fulfil their duty the way that they're supposed to. They never came close to my father to examine him. Eventually he died. Authorities should educate not only the public, but healthcare professionals as well. My father would have been alive, as we speak, had he been given proper medical aid in the hospital. His absence is something that nobody can fill. My life won't be like before, never," said Ulfat.
