German Blanco's daughter July, 30, checks on her father as he lies on a couch in the living room connected to an oxygen tank at his home in Callao, Peru on February 4, 2021. In Peru, with a population of 33 million and more than 1.14 million people infected, daily deaths duplicated to more than a hundred at the end of January. Since May, the country has been facing a shortage of medical oxygen which has led hundreds of inhabitants to queue for up to 72 hours, sleeping in the streets, to buy this gas which the government has declared a “strategic resource”.
