  1. 🙏🇵🇸This assistance is distributed to us by the World Food Programme #WFP two food boxes and one bag of flour as a monthly ration. But because of the blockade, shortages of supplies and funding, we have been receiving it only once every three months. Since the war between Israel and Iran, it has stopped completely.
    The ration currently contains a bag of flour; the first box has rice, lentils, salt and tahini/sirij oil; and the second contains canned foods, mainly beans and ground chickpeas, with very little variety.
    We are not rejecting this assistance or underestimating its value. We are grateful for everything humanitarian organizations are trying to provide under such difficult circumstances. But when a family has a child suffering from malnutrition, there needs to be some flexibility in the contents of the food ration.
    My 7-year-old son Abdullah is classified as malnourished (red status). I update his information and report his condition every time. I have taken him to medical points, where I receive whatever they are able to provide, but many of the nutritional supplements and vitamins appropriate for his age are simply unavailable.
    I am struggling to provide Abdullah with the vitamins and healthy food he needs. When I cannot afford them, I sometimes have to take them from the pharmacy on credit and pay later.
    Abdullah needs nutritious food suitable for his age and condition—foods rich in protein and energy, appropriate milk, and foods fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, according to the recommendations of specialists.
    We are not asking for luxury or extra food simply for the sake of having more. We are asking for the real nutritional needs of a child who has been classified as malnourished.
    Families are not all the same, and children's needs are not all the same. Food assistance should not be treated as simply a fixed quantity of food distributed in exactly the same way to everyone. We are human beings, and every child has different needs—especially children suffering from or at risk of malnutrition.
    We hope that Abdullah's condition, and the conditions of other children like him, can be taken into consideration and that food assistance can be adapted, in coordination with specialists, to meet their actual nutritional needs.🇵🇸🙏‼️

  8. @MissGayle IMO in 4th world country Czech Republic, EU🇪🇺, onions are practically unavailable. Majority of them is moldy (incl. between the peels something which looks like Aspergillus niger) or rotten, I don't want to risk cancer from mold toxins like aflatoxin, ochratoxin. In 3rd world developing dictatorship Cambodia the situation was the same except spring onions were not rotten.

    I already sent 2 complaints to the Czech state food quality inspectorate. They wrote they went to both supermarkets and in #1 the amount of moldy and rotten pieces was within EU🇪🇺 standards (IMO EU🇪🇺 standards for feeding people with carcinogenic decomposing compost), which I disagree with. In #2 they said they didn't find the problem (rotten spring onion) but they found unrelated decomposing pumpkins for which they "initiated official misdemeanor procedure" or something like that, but didn't write whether they actually fined the seller.

    There is no way to actually submit photographs as evidence, they always go there and do their own official sample, so IMO it's like playing an ineffective whackamole with rotten onions.

    The difference to Cambodia is that there, sole proprietorships pay 0% taxes below $62 500 revenue per year and 2.73% in the next tier.

    I am fine if a state says "pay less taxes, we won't check quality of vegetables, you have to haggle it yourself using market mechanisms".

    But to pay developed country taxes and get developing country food quality, in that case I feel

    s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech regime.

    Recently I managed to find 1 good onion in the supermarket so I hope in the future luck will smile at me again and I won't live in malnutrition in an allegedly developed country.
