London's food banks exemplify public financial insecurity
CGTN Europe • 3m 58s
A 2km queue of people stretches down Ealing Road in North London every Saturday as people in one of Europe’s most affluent cities wait for a free parcel of food.
It's believed to be the longest foodbank line in the UK. More than 800 people wait for volunteers to hand out enough food to help more than 4,000 people.
CGTN Europe’s Nicole Johnston spoke to London’s Community Kitchen about the situation and spent time with some of the Londoners who are unable to feed their families.
