Barcelona’s streets are telling a story the world can’t ignore. As COVID-19 continues to reshape lives, job losses and homelessness are skyrocketing in the Spanish city, captured vividly by local vlogger Roger. 📱✨
Near Roger’s neighborhood, soup kitchen lines stretch longer each week. Families with three or four children now rely on these meals after losing income due to pandemic lockdowns. 💔 'People aren’t just hungry—they’re desperate to feed their kids,' Roger shared in his latest video diary.
The city’s temporary shelter—an exhibition hall retrofitted for 225 homeless residents—filled up in 24 hours, leaving many without a safe place to sleep. One man, Ali, chose to stay outside despite the cold. 'It’s too crowded to rest properly,' he explained, adding with quiet hope: 'When the epidemic ends, work will come back. Life will improve.' 🌅
Barcelona’s struggle mirrors global challenges, but its people’s resilience shines through. As Roger’s lens reveals, the road to recovery is paved with both heartbreak and humanity.
