Homeless Americans resting at the parking lot amidst coronavirus
Homelessness in the United States of America is a problem
that the country is unable to tackle and in recent years the situation seems to
be deteriorating, from the state of New York to that of California, the number
of homeless people is growing dangerously.
The entire areas in large cities such
as Los Angeles have become open-air dormitories for those who do not have a
home and cannot find accommodation in the facilities made available by the
government, to homeless people, often having economic, mental, alcohol, and drug addiction problems.
And
now that the coronavirus pandemic has hit the USA very hard, the impact has already taken its toll on the homeless. To avoid the spread of the disease, the States try to offer homelessness assistance, in a country that the disease has already killed thousands.
The homeless were left without a place to live and places where they could find shelter or restroom, such as libraries, gyms, and restaurants were also closed, placing them in a hopeless situation, as they try to find a way to survive in the pandemic.
Without any place to take the homeless, a parking lot was offered to them to pass the nights without mattresses or blankets, in the state of Nevada, Las Vegas. The squares serving as parking lots were marked with white stripes for each of the homeless.
Others who used the facility of Catholic Charities, one of the largest
charities in the country were also forced to their beds and join the homeless at the parking lot.
Twice as many Americans have been infected with coronavirus than Italy, which
ranks second, but the pace of the spread of the disease in a European country is
gradually slowing down, while in the United States the epidemic has not even
reached its peak.
The current coronavirus has infected 886,709 and killed 50,243, with no sign of
subsiding. The world stands behind America with prayers, hoping very soon
everything will come to an end.
