“More Than 47M Americans Struggle To Afford Food”, Barrack Obama Raises Alarm

Former US president, Barrack Obama has raised alarm over growing food insecurity in the country, noting that more than 47m Americans are struggling to afford food. 

He stated this via his twitter handle on Friday. 

He said: “More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children – don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

“Republicans need to act now to make sure those benefits are available to people who depend on them. If they don’t, millions of children, seniors, and low-income Americans will go hungry ahead of the holidays.”
