Warsaw, 25-27 October 2024 – As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting people in difficult circumstances, the International Human Rights Commission – IHRC organised another humanitarian aid operation, distributing food to the most vulnerable families in Warsaw.

Each recipient received a selection of 15 different food items, providing comprehensive and balanced support to those in need. These items included milk, sugar, flour, pasta, oats, porridge, cheese, fruit jams, canned fish, various stews, sunflower oil, coffee, biscuits, and canned peas.
