Desperate Americans are forming queues of up to three miles long for foodbanks amid record job losses in the US due to the coronavirus crisis.
The extraordinary queues have been seen in Texas, while in California one foodbank has experienced 125% increase in demand, NBC Nightly News reports.
Across the US almost 24 million Americans are reportedly struggling to afford food, up by six million because of the pandemic.
It comes as the number of people infected by the deadly bug in the States has topped 11 million, with nearly 250,000 dead and mounting criticism of Donald Trump's failure to take the pandemic seriously enough.
