Starving Shanghai residents scream at authorities during COVID lockdownBy Emily Crane
April 26, 2022
Starving Shanghai residents have been filmed screaming from their windows at hazmat-wearing authorities patrolling the city’s streets after weeks of draconian COVID-19 lockdowns.
The footage showed the locked-up citizens shouting at officials in Shi Lan San village on Saturday amid reports of food shortages across the city as China doubles down on its “zero COVID” policy.
“I haven’t eaten yet,” one desperate woman could be heard yelling.
Another man screamed: “I need to eat.”
Residents have taken to social media to complain about their troubles with getting food, water and medicine ever since the city started enforcing its oppressive lockdown earlier this month.
The latest video of screaming residents emerged as authorities started erecting 6-foot-tall metal fences in several neighborhoods to block off some streets and the entrances to apartment complexes of those who had tested positive.
The move sparked outrage from residents on social media, with some complaining they were being treated like “domestic animals.”
