So I’m all for children ***not ***starving, I’d like to get that out the way. That being said, this article could be a lot more specific.

4 million people experienced destitution in 2022. Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.

Is that an “and” or an “or”? Are children hungry and homeless, or are they going hungry to avoid being homeless, neither is good obviously, but it makes the difference between a third world country and a very shitty first world country.

with almost three quarters (72%) of those destitute being in receipt of benefits. charities – such as food banks – to try to prevent people from experiencing the worst of destitution, but the task is too great for them.

Are the destitution statistics based on what people can afford pre or post these thing? Obviously it’s bad when people need to rely on charity & government assistance to afford their essentials, but it’s unclear from the article how stressed these systems are.

Single people of working age continue to be the worst-affected group by far … followed by no statistics pertaining to this group!!!

Idk I just want more figures. That’s all I guess
