“For us as a community food bank, it was quite clear that hunger was increasing because we started having this rapid growth in terms of demand for food, mostly from people in the middle class,” said Elijah Amoo Addo, chef and founder of Food for All Africa.

Servings of hot meals, which his organisation provides to vulnerable groups, jumped to over 1,000 packs a week in the second quarter of 2022, from 700 packs previously, and they are now providing between 1,100 and 1,500.
