Food banks strained by rising demand
Food banks across many countries are reporting a sharp rise in people seeking emergency food assistance, with charities saying their supplies and volunteers are being stretched to the limit. Providers point to rising living costs, housing pressure and stagnant wages as drivers of demand. Commenters are calling on governments to boost support and address the underlying causes of food insecurity.
Why now: Rising living costs are pushing more people to rely on charity food aid, prompting public debate about government responsibility.
