Global Relief:

Amid lockdowns and quarantines, this crisis is affecting everyone but is especially hard for those already vulnerable: low income and women-headed families, refugees and migrants, older adults, and those with inflexible jobs. For them, getting access to basic food, hygiene and essential supplies have even become extremely difficult.
