Greece's food crisis: families face going hungry during summer shutdown
6 August 2013 | Helena Smith
Frontline charities report that up to 90% of families in the poorest neighbourhoods rely on food banks and soup kitchens. But, with no end to austerity in sight, even the volunteers are flagging. Hunger is not a word that comes easily to Antonis Antakis. And at 28 Veikou Street, in the cramped confines of the Solidarity Club, it is not a word that is ever mentioned. But the fear of not having enough to eat is the force that propels those who stop here ? and what keeps the tireless volunteers stacking rice, pasta and other dry goods that Greeks like Antakis take home.
