摘要

背景:COVID-19 大流行病在全球范围内造成了巨大的破坏,粮食不安全是弱势社群的首要问题。作为以色列社会中最边缘化和最弱势的群体之一,寻求庇护者和无证人口最先受到大流行病和随之而来的经济危机的影响。本研究的目的是评估 COVID-19 在寻求庇护者和其他无证群体中造成粮食不安全的严重程度和原因:采用了多种方法。定量研究包括一份关于获取食物、援助和选择的在线问卷,以及 6 个项目的家庭粮食安全调查模块(HFSSM)。定性研究包括 4 个焦点小组和专题分析。这项研究于 2020 年 11 月由卫生部营养处和特拉维夫市外国社区援助和信息中心(Mesila)共同开展。样本来自特拉维夫南部的低收入社区居民。研究采用了逻辑回归、多变量分析和内容分析等方法:共有 485 人完成了定量调查,平均年龄为 33.2 ± 5.4 岁,其中 349 人(72.0%)经历过粮食不安全问题。在多变量分析中,年龄越大(p = 0.04,Odds Ratio OR 1.1,Confidence Interval CI 1.05-1.15)和单身(未婚)(p = 0.03,OR 2.1,CI 1.2-3.5)预示着粮食不安全。定性研究结果确定了三大主题:儿童偏爱以色列/西方食物而非传统食物;经济压力加剧;偏爱接受购买食物的援助(代金券)而非食物施舍:总之,弱势群体(寻求庇护者和其他无证群体)受到了严重影响,面临着粮食不安全的危险。为解决社区内的严重饥饿问题,需要采取与文化相关的、因地制宜的解决方案。这包括建立一个跨部委论坛、一家社会杂货店、加强与粮食救援机构的联系、为教育环境中的儿童提供全面的营养支持,以及加强对食品选择和预算编制的指导。

Food insecurity amongst asylum seekers and people without status in Israel.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused massive disruptions globally, with food insecurity a primary concern amongst vulnerable communities. As one of the most marginalized and vulnerable groups in Israeli society asylum seekers and undocumented populations were amongst the first to be affected by the pandemic and the economic crisis that followed. The objective of the study was to evaluate the severity and causes of food insecurity among asylum seekers and other undocumented communities because of COVID-19.

Methods: A multi method approach was used. The quantitative component included an online questionnaire regarding access to food, aid and choices, and the 6 item Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) The qualitative component included 4 focus groups and thematic analysis. The study was conducted in November 2020, by the Ministry of Health's Nutrition Division and the Tel Aviv Municipality's foreign community assistance and information center (Mesila). The convenience sample was drawn from the low-income neighborhood population of South Tel Aviv. Logistic regression, multivariate analysis and content analysis, were performed.

Results: Four hundred eighty-five people completed the quantitative survey, with average age 33.2 ± 5.4 years and 349 (72.0%) experienced food insecurity. In the multivariate analysis, being older (p = 0.04, Odds Ratio OR 1.1, Confidence Interval CI 1.05-1.15) and being single (unmarried) (p = 0.03, OR 2.1, CI 1.2, 3.5) predicted food insecurity. Qualitative findings identified three main themes: children preferring Israeli/ Western foods to traditional foods; financial stresses were compounded; a preference for receiving assistance with purchasing food (vouchers), rather than food handouts.

Conclusion: In conclusion, vulnerable populations (asylum seekers and other undocumented communities) were severely affected and are in danger of food insecurity. Culturally relevant and contextualized solutions are needed to address the acute hunger within the community. These include establishment of a cross-ministerial forum, a social grocery store, increased liaison with food rescue bodies, complete nutritional support for children in educational settings and increased guidance regarding food choices and budgeting.
