A Northumberland foodbank boss warned families are going days without food in a stark response to a Tory councillor who said people aren't "starving in the streets".
Linda Fugill, operations manager at Wansbeck Valley Food Bank, said people turning to their service for support have often not eaten for days and have empty cupboards.
It comes after Northumberland county councillor Jeff Watson came under fire after claiming he doesn't see "people dying on the streets".
