 The pandemic hit: Every Sixth American is Hungry, 

The Corona epidemic has wrecked the economic, social, and health systems of the entire world. Many countries are in such a bad condition that people are not even getting food here. The economic situation is worse than the recession of 2008. The worst condition is that of the most powerful country in the world i.e. America. There has been a large loss of employment in America. People have no money, so they are not able to eat properly.

Feeding America, an organization working on hunger, has surprised the whole world by making a disclosure recently. According to the Feeding America report, by the end of last year, ie by the end of December, more than 50 million people in the US are not getting the bread of June 2. Every sixth person is forced to starve here

Not only big, but the biggest hit of this epidemic has also been on children too. Every fourth child in America is starving. From the month of June of 2019, there was a problem of employment in America. People lost their jobs because of Corona. That's why people started getting food shortages.

Since the onset of the Corona epidemic, so far the needy people in America have increased twice as much as before the corona. These needy people are more unemployed and hungry. At the same time, the number of children in needy families has increased three times.


According to the Feeding America report, on average, 54.8 crore food packets have been distributed throughout the country through its network. Whereas, before the pandemic, about half of the food packets were distributed to hungry people. Feeding America used to feed 5000 people at America's main festival Christmas. This time 8500 people have to be fed in the epidemic Christmas.

The worst condition in America is of Black, Asian and Latin-American people. However, the American people are helping each other. Refrigerator, coffee machine, food, etc. facilities are being provided to the people at the community level. Also, social media is appealing to people to provide more food.

There are many such organizations in America that demand packaged food from people all over the country and keep it in these fridges. The person who feels hungry takes food out of these and eats it. The New York Food Bank has distributed 7.7 crore food packets so far during the epidemic. Whereas, this bank distributes one crore food packets in normal years.
