BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA—Men wait outside the metal-grill door of a soup kitchen in a slum, hoping to get a small serving of beef and mashed potatoes. In this Sept. 6 photo, people line up for a small meal outside a soup kitchen at a community center in the Villa 1-11-14 shantytown on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina. “The city government gives us money for 440 rations a day, but we’re being forced to prepare smaller portions so that we can cover 600 rations,” said Cintia Garcia, who runs the soup kitchen. He said he would allocate more economic aid and strengthen food plans for poor Argentines. That has affected food prices in a country where most grains and other goods are transported in trucks.
