As the economic and social crisis worsens, more than a third of Argentines currently live below the poverty line. In the face of increasing hunger, in recent months, soup kitchens have multiplied.

The Argentinean Parliament voted unanimously "the food emergency" on Wednesday. The government of Mauricio Macri will increase its budget for food aid for school canteens in particular.
