As the lockdown in Xi'an continues through its second week, 13M residents are getting a taste of what life was like for the millions in Wuhan who suffered through that city's 70+ day lockdown back in the spring of 2020.
As a result, the city has been on total lockdown - with people only allowed to leave once every few days to buy essential goods like groceries.
According to a report in the Caixin business journal, many are struggling to buy groceries as city life grinds to a halt.
The city, home to almost 13 million residents, went into lockdown Dec. 23, with movement of the people curtailed and risk areas sealed, amid a growing delta outbreak traced to a Dec. 4 flight from Pakistan.
Li, the resident of the urban village, reported the shortage of supplies to the city's hotlines, but no feedback was received.
Another Xi'an resident said the city does not have a shortage of supplies, but it lacks enough delivery workers.
Stringent epidemic control measures have disrupted health services across the city, affecting many local patients, including kidney disease patients who urgently need treatment.
