Steeds meer Grieken lijden honger
Percentage schiet omhoog
Kleine man weer de dupe
HUNGER is increasingly becoming a problem among poor Greek households, with more and more
families unable to make ends meet, the Greek branch of the humanitarian aid organisation Doctors of
the World warned in an October 26 press conference. “The number of Greeks seeking medical attention
from us has shot up from 6-7 percent last year to 30 percent this year, out of a total of 30,000 people
seen in the past year,” an organisation representative said. “They are elderly people, those on small
pensions, young unemployed and people with chronic diseases - often with a hospital prescription in
hand - because they are unable to pay for their share of medication. What shocked us most, however,
is that many now ask us for food.” The organisation announced that it would launch a campaign to
collect food items in time for Christmas.
