A 14-year-old boy was taken to hospital after banging his head when he fainted from hunger in a London food bank.
Charlotte White, the owner of Eastfield Food Bank in Wandsworth, took to Twitter to share the sad story when she posted: “An ambulance was called, as a 14 year old fainted and hit his head. He hadn't eaten for a while. The cupboards at home were empty. The levels of hardship and suffering we're seeing are extreme. Every week it gets worse and worse.”
She continues: Stark choices – eating vs heating, cutting every other meal – have already been made this winter. We've already seen children sleeping in coats, people coming to us literally starving, with very little support available.
