Córdoba Community Soup Kitchen Robbed and Set on Fire, Halting Meals for 70 Children

The caretaker says a replacement gas cylinder is the urgent need to restart meals.

Overview

  • The break-in occurred Wednesday at Manuel Amuchástegui 1045 in the Colinas del Cerro neighborhood of Córdoba.
  • Thieves took essential items including gas cylinders, pots, cutlery, a food processor, lamps, foodstuffs and a stereo, according to the caretaker.
  • Small fires were lit inside, damaging furniture, and the caretaker believes they were used for light after the lamps were stolen.
  • The community center, which serves about 70 children daily, has suspended meal service because it cannot cook or heat milk without fuel and cookware.
  • Media reports mention no arrests or official investigation details, and the caretaker is seeking urgent help to replace the cylinder and hose.
