Food basket a relief for many

"The items listed are adequate but we hope that they will be given more frequently, perhaps once a week. People also need fresh ingredients like vegetables, fish and chicken to make their meals, so perhaps these items could be considered. I also hope that the level of bureaucracy will be reduced to make it easier for the aid recipients. This food basket programme is certainly a relief for those in need. My residents association (RA) has already prepared a list of eligible recipients. When such aid is handed out, the RA for each zone will be responsible for distribution."
