🚨 #Gaza: 23 bakeries on Oct 7th. 5 bakeries on Oct 17th. 1 bakery on Oct 31st. ZERO bakeries today. @WFP’s last contracted bakery in #Gaza has shut down due to the lack of fuel. Today, nearly the entire population is in need of food assistance. 🔗 tinyurl.com/2mxxekd8

3/3 Prof Banerjee urges us to 'focus on inclusion rather than exclusion' and to step back from the risk that a 'paranoia about wasting money' drives programme implementers to exclude the poor from assistance for fear that they're not quite poor enough
