When I ran a foodbank (pre 2017), DWP REFUSED to give out foodbank vouchers. But they still "sent" people to us, so we had to organise a voucher for them. So now DWP regress to callous cynical position of knowing help is needed, rejecting foodbank stats on food poverty, yet still sending people to f/bank but without the proper referral vouchers (then gov have the cheek to say people cheat the system).
Never trust the DWP. #DWP #FoodPoverty #FoodInsecurity #Foodbanks
#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
About 90% of #children under the age of two are consuming two or fewer food groups, #UNICEF said in a statement on Friday.
Most families said their children are only getting grains – including bread – or milk, which would meet the definition of severe #FoodPoverty, it said. #Gaza#Israel
