Nepal has reported almost 10,000 new cases and 168 deaths on Wednesday. It comes after the country marked a single-day record of 255 deaths. The country depends on India for most of its medical equipment and oxygen supplies. WHO says Nepal has around 1,600 ICU beds and 840 ventilators for a population of 30 million. What's the situation there now as India halted exports due to its worsening situation? And as the pandemic in Nepal worsens, Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has been forced to step down, following anger over his government's COVID-19 response. How is the political turmoil affecting the country in terms of handling the pandemic? Are there any plans to at least keep things running at the moment?
