bearing the brunt of the crisis

English to French Social Sciences Advertising / Public Relations COVID-19
Cities are bearing the brunt of the crisis – many with strained health systems, inadequate water and sanitation services, and other challenges. This is especially the case in poorer areas, where the pandemic has exposed deeply rooted inequalities. But cities are also home to extraordinary solidarity and resilience.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Cyril Tollari

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Les villes sont les plus touchées par la crise

Les villes sont les plus touchées par la crise, beaucoup d'entre elles présentent des systèmes de santé tendus, des services d'eau et d'assainissement inadéquats et d'autres problèmes. C'est particulièrement le cas dans les zones les plus pauvres où la pandémie a mis en évidence des inégalités profondément enracinées. Mais celles-ci sont aussi le lieu d'une solidarité et d'une résilience extraordinaires.
