On Wednesday, Trussell Trust, the largest food bank network in the UK, announced that the number of emergency food packages it distributed had risen by 37% over the past year, reaching a record-breaking 3 million packages as of March. This amount is more than double what it was five years ago and includes over 1 million packages for children. The increase in demand is due to the growing number of people struggling with the high cost of living, and there are no signs of relief from this crisis.
