Coronavirus: The poor and isolated even more vulnerable - 20 Minutes
Since the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic in France and the introduction of containment, the most disadvantaged people are even more vulnerable. Food distress and loneliness are the hardest hit for the poorest and most isolated.
Fall in food stocks
Social assistance associations are trying to come to their aid and strengthen their solidarity actions, but, with the introduction of confinement, resources are shrinking faster. “In eight days, we used more than four months of our food stocks. We will have to reconstitute them, ”recalls Jean Stellittano, national secretary of the Secours populaire français.
But the renewal of food stocks is not the only concern of Jean Stellittano. The urgency is also to come to the aid of isolated people. “We have a great concern: it is the isolation of people, the loneliness and the risk that at the end of this crisis we discover in the apartments of corpses. It should not be taken lightly. "
