David Cameron is driving a small lorry full of supplies for Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Announcing the trip on Twitter, the former prime minister said he had been volunteering for two years at a food project in west Oxfordshire called the Chippy Larder.
Through the project, he said donations had been taken in for refugees from Ukraine and they now had enough "to fill a small lorry with everything from nappies to sanitary products, warm clothes to first aid kits".
Posting a photograph sitting behind the wheel of the lorry, Mr Cameron said: "I'm currently driving to Poland with two Chippy Larder colleagues to make our delivery to the Red Cross. It's going to be a long drive, but I'll keep you updated along the way."
Earlier this week, Mr Cameron called for more humanitarian help to be given to Ukraine. Speaking to Channel 4 News, he called on the UK government to "get back" to dedicating 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) to overseas aid, after it was cut to 0.5% last year.
He said the Cabinet should have an aid minister, who would be "100% dedicated" to the role. Chancellor Rishi Sunak has promised to return the UK's aid contributions to 0.7% by the end of this Parliament.
But Mr Cameron said: "Let's do more on humanitarian aid. We achieved 0.7% of GDP in our aid payments. I'm sad we've got away from that. I hope we can get back there. Let's – with the EU – lead the donor conference, lead the aid effort.
"Let's have a dedicated aid minister in the Cabinet doing development. The Foreign Office ministers do a great job but it'd be good to have someone who's 100% dedicated to humanitarian aid and development."
He also said permanent Nato bases should be created in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It comes as Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters its 24th day.
