BANGKOK, May 7 (TNA) – Needy people in Thailand have
relied on food aid distributions offered by public agencies and philanthropists
during the COVID-19 crisis.
A police command headquarters in the northeastern Nakhon
Ratchasima province on Thursday handed out 500 lunchboxes to people in the
local community. Many people arrived at
5 am to form a long queue before the handing out scheduled at 11 am.
To avoid hours of queuing, they put bags, shoes and sandals
to secure their places in line.
An elderly woman said everyday she travelled to several
places that offered relief supplies.
Groups of donors across Thailand have arranged food aid distributions for impoverished families in their localities. Benevolent acts in time of crisis have
revealed not only community humanitarian response but also how COVID-19 has put
people deep in indigence. (TNA)
