As the COVID surge continues to wreak havoc across India, the administration in Bihar's Buxar district on Monday, 10 May, found at least 45 bodies, most in a decomposed stage, floating in the Ganga.

Where are the bodies from? We do not know.

Were they patients who died of COVID-19? The administration has not confirmed.

But this is yet another example of how Indians are dying not just because of COVID-19 but also due to lack of medical assistance and treatment for the same.
