Millions of Americans Depend on Food Banks

The pandemic caused by the covid-19 has devastated the world economy including the superpower United States (US). Millions of US citizens must struggle to survive amid the crisis that hit. Hunger is a bitter paradox that occurs in the richest country in the world. In the 2020 pandemic, millions of Americans worry about their empty fridges. The food bank continues to distribute food at high speed. Some Americans are willing not to eat, so that their children can get food. Other Americans rely on cheap, undernourished food.

An analysis of the data from the Associated Press found a sharp increase in the amount of food distributed compared to last year. Those who struggle with hunger say they have never seen a crisis this deep in America. This is even worse than the 2007-2009 recession. Aaron Crawford, 37, is looking for work in this time of crisis.
