It was reported that the standard of living in Britain has fallen
Khalid Javid, director of Muslim Aid, an international Muslim charity, said that poverty in Britain is growing at an unprecedented rate, and that non-Muslims are also coming to receive food aid, which his organization distributes in mosques.
Khalid Javid, director of the Muslim Aid International Muslim Charitable Foundation, is concerned that poverty in Britain is growing at an unprecedented rate, the BBC wrote. His organization specializes in distributing free food to those in need.
According to Javid, in the first three months of 2024, the fund distributed more than 60,000 meals and food parcels. Although Muslim Aid distributes aid through mosques, it is not only Muslims who come to receive it.
"The food packages are intended for all religious and non-religious people," says Khalid Javid. In his opinion, the reason for the record decrease in the standard of living was the increase in inflation and the consequences of the pandemic.
The most disadvantaged area in terms of per capita income is Tower Hamlets in east London. Here , the number of children living below the poverty line exceeds 47.5 percent, while the national average is 33 percent.
According to UNICEF, among the 40 richest countries in the world, the worst conditions for children are observed in France and Britain.
"A lot of people can't get the help they need, so they come here. Most of them say they get more help from philanthropists than from the government,” concludes J avid .
