This situation was|| |||||exacerbated
by the fact that sourcing food became an|| |||||almost impossible task as the public panic bought

unwilling
to assist to|| |||||provide food in the quantities

that our good relationship
with other|| |||||organisations,

meant that we were able to work|| |||||together to address this concerning
