Chinese city residents 'starving' under Covid lockdown where people can't leave homes
Chinese residents living under an extreme Covid lockdown in the city of Xi’an claim they are facing starvation as they now allowed to even go out for food, it is reported.
Residents of the city with 13million inhabitants are only allowed out from their homes for medical emergencies or mass Covid testing rounds.
New stricter rules have come in as part of a crackdown in China -
Previously a member from each household was allowed to go out every other day to buy food.
But Xi’an residents have taken to social media and said that they are “starving” due to the lack of food available to families.
Two years ago, China was being lauded by the World Health Organization for its success in beating the coronavirus. But its insistence on adhering to a so-called Covid Zero policy is leaving it increasingly isolated as other countries, most of which suffered far worse outbreaks and higher death tolls, wean themselves off harsh countermeasures and return to a semblance of pre-pandemic life. Their populations have built up a large degree of protection through previous infections and more effective vaccines. Chinese officials have said vaccines alone aren’t enough and stringent curbs aimed at wiping out the virus are needed to avoid a health care calamity. President Xi Jinping has pledged to try to reduce the economic impact of the strategy, which Hong Kong also follows. But continued flareups this year, including in the financial capital Shanghai, are putting it to the test as never before.
