The social media user who posted the video claimed that the group felt weak about the lack of food.
They said: “It started in a small community, people started protesting and demanding food supplies. “They then broke through the police line of defense and looted food from a nearby supermarket.” Shanghai residents have been confined to their homes with orders not to leave, even for food shopping. People have been instructed to order food and water while waiting for state deliveries of vegetables, meat and eggs. But with the services flooded, some are starving, fueling public outrage as the city faces the largest Covid outbreak ever. Further footage, believed to have been shot in the same area, shows people appearing to protest. In a terrifying video that has not yet been independently verified, a Shanghai resident moves his phone camera across the city from an apartment where people can be heard screaming from their windows. Anger is also rising over allegations that parents are separating from their parents if they test positive, the BBC reported. Shanghai authorities have modified their response to allow infected parents to join their children in solitary confinement, but Reuters understands that this has not been the case in all cases. Amid growing frustration with the latest lockdown restrictions, the animal abuse video has sparked further outrage on the internet. A pet corgi was seen beaten to death after its owner tested positive for Covid amid a severe lockdown. The video shows the man dressed in hazmat clothes hitting the innocent corgi with a shovel in a residential complex in Pudong district on Wednesday. The tragic moment was recorded on camera by a resident in a nearby tower and shows the Covid-19 prevention worker chasing the dog on the street before hitting it three times. 5 Reports of desperate Shanghai food shortages appear on social mediaCredit: TWITTER / MIKE SMITH 5 Video with minor disturbances has been posted on the InternetCredit: TWITTER / MIKE SMITH
