Social vulnerability and housing insecurity reported in Argentina

Social vulnerability and precarious living conditions are being highlighted in various regions of Argentina. In Concordia, Rolo Tribulatti of the Movimiento Federal Belgrano reported that individuals are increasingly searching through waste containers for food scraps in addition to collecting recyclable materials like cardboard and glass.

Simultaneously, Hábitat para la Humanidad Argentina is launching a campaign to address housing insecurity, particularly in the Province of Buenos Aires. Spokesperson Juan Juri emphasized the need to replace dirt floors with cement to improve health outcomes, noting that precarious housing conditions contribute to increased illness and school absenteeism among children. The organization is seeking donations to fund these structural improvements.
