Meanwhile, research in Córdoba has identified 18 vulnerable neighborhoods, noting that approximately 43.87% of the city's population resides in areas characterized by low income and high unemployment. In Argentina, community support has manifested through the “Voluntarios en Acción” campaign in the Pilar district, which distributes food and hygiene products to vulnerable families.
