Prices are rising sharply in Europe due to severe inflation, and "hunger queues" have reappeared on the streets of the Spanish capital Madrid. Residents line up for free food being distributed by non-profit organizations. Prices for more than 95 percent of goods have increased by nearly 15 percent in local supermarkets, and many families spend nearly half their disposable income on daily necessities and food. CGTN Stringer interviewed Spaniards both giving and receiving supplies to find out why the queues have reappeared. One person ominously admitted that many families will suffer a rough winter.
