Greeks struggle to afford food and electricity as inflation soars

Soaring inflation is hitting living standards across the developed world.
And it is largely being driven by a rise in energy prices.
In Greece, electricity prices alone trebled last year, and the government is spending more than $2bn subsidising energy costs for households, businesses and farmers. But some people still have to choose between eating and paying their power bills.
Greek incomes were battered by an eight-year depression following the 2008 global financial crisis and they still have not recovered.
