These are difficult times and for refugee families who don't have a safety net of social security benefits or access to free health and education, they are hit harder. AlFitrah foundation has started a grocery voucher program that enables 50 refugee families in the most dire circumstances to purchase the groceries they need . An analysis of the receipts show the different requirements of each family: a young Somalian mother uses her vouchers to buy babymilk and rusks, a Yemeni single mum buys adult diapers for her aged mother and chickens for her family's dinner, a Palestinian father buys oranges, pears and apples for his children.
