As Spain’s COVID-19 cases soar to 47,610, becoming Europe’s second-hardest-hit country after Italy, Barcelona’s streets tell a quieter—but urgent—story. 🏙️ While residents stay home under confinement orders, the city’s homeless population faces unprecedented risks without shelter or protective gear.
Local CGTN contributor Roger reported seeing unhoused individuals braving empty streets during the outbreak’s 10th day of lockdown. “Spring arrived, but hope hasn’t,” he shared, describing frayed masks and improvised bedding. 🛌
Yet amid the crisis, grassroots heroes are stepping up. Volunteers and NGOs are distributing food, sanitizers, and temporary shelter, working tirelessly to protect this vulnerable group. 💪 One organizer told Roger: “We can’t fight the virus without fighting inequality first.”
