For many of them, the need to ask for help is deeply embarrassing. In some cases, families go to food pantries in neighboring towns so their friends and acquaintances won’t see them.

Una protesta contra los recortes saniyarios para inmigrantes. Alrededor de un tercio de los que piden ayuda a caridad, informa Caritas, nunca habian pedido comida o acudido a un comedor social antes del impacto de la crisis. A muchos de ellos, la necesidad de ayuda les avergüenza profundamente. En muchos casos las familias van a pedir comida a pueblos vecinos para que sus amigos y conocidos no los vean.
