New York: here is the queue of those waiting for the distribution of food

What you see, and what you will also see in the video below, is the fina that is formed every day in front of La Jornad at Food Pantry, a center for distributing food aid to the poor. This center before the covid crisis distributed 1000 parcels a day today is able to distribute 10 thousand.

This increase was accompanied by the creation of a queue of people waiting that exceeds 300 meters and that is reminiscent of the queue of people in front of the kitchens of the poor that were formed during the Great Depression. The classic case is that of Walter Barrera, 50, who before Covid-19 worked on a construction site which was then closed and who now arrives at 6 in the morning just to queue for food.

This disaster is also the result of the stalemate that has arisen between the president and the House of Representatives over the new aid package. one block that is paid by Americans queuing for food.
