Residents in Shanghai are struggling with food shortages amid a government-imposed lockdown to curb rising COVID-19 cases.
The city of roughly 25 million people was placed on lockdown on March 28, and since then, residents have said they've been having difficulty finding meat, rice, and other food supplies, according to ABC News.
Shanghai's lockdown, implemented after 3,500 new COVID-19 cases were reported, has played out in two phases. The first phase locked down the financial district and surrounding areas from Monday to Friday, and the second phase locked down the downtown area for five days beginning on April 1.
