epa08419885 Neighborhood leaders and municipal workers distribute lunches to vulnerable families in the Puente Alto district, in Santiago, Chile, 12 May 2020 (Issued 13 May 2020). The economic crisis derived from the coronavirus pandemic has brought images that have not been seen in Chile since the time of the dictatorship: thousands of people living in neighborhoods with fewer resources eat every day thanks to 'common pots', symbols of hunger and the poverty that haunt the country again. On the outskirts of Santiago, this type of assistance has multiplied in recent weeks, as more families have been left without income after the closure of many shops, construction works and the extension of compulsory quarantine.
