The United States is experiencing a famine crisis during Thanksgiving this year. 56 million Americans suffer from food insecurity, according to Feeding America.

The organization stated that the Bronx neighborhoods have the highest rate of Corona infections and the highest unemployment rate in New York, and these slums suffer from the highest rate of food insecurity among children in the country. Families also face a heavy burden to provide for their meals.

"There are 22 million children who were dependent on a free lunch at school before the pandemic," said Claire Papino Fontino, executive director of Feeding America. "But with schools closed due to the Corona pandemic, this means there is a loss of education and meals."

She emphasized that "communities of color are twice as likely to suffer, not only from the underlying diseases that make the virus more deadly, but also from lack of food and security."
