Poverty in Palma: Why the Food Queues in Front of Churches Are Growing

Answer

Why are food queues growing in Palma?

The queues are growing because more people in Palma are struggling with a mix of high housing costs, seasonal work, and low or unstable incomes. When the tourist season slows down, some workers lose hours or jobs, but rent and daily expenses do not get cheaper. Church-based food aid is becoming a fallback for people who cannot easily access public support.
