Grandmother risks own health to feed poor in Covid-hit Peru

For the country’s poor, the impact of the virus is posing an even greater threat, especially for the millions of people working in the informal economy whose livelihoods have all but dried up.

But one grandmother has taken on the challenge, risking her own health to feed hundreds of her neighbours who simply can not afford to eat.
