Food banks strained by rising demand
Food banks around the world are reporting sharp increases in people turning to them for help, with many charities saying their stocks and volunteers are stretched to breaking point. Commenters link the surge to rising living costs, housing pressure and stagnant wages, and are calling on governments to act on poverty and improve support for struggling households.
Why now: Rising living costs and economic hardship are driving more people to rely on charity food aid, prompting public concern and political debate.
