The GHF's mechanism has been criticised as insufficient, as a limited amount of supplies is being handed out, and inhumane, as it requires people to travel to crowded distribution hubs, at great risk.

Ms Mami, who is diabetic, used the cash to buy food, like vegetables, which were more appropriate for her diet than the cereals handed out at the distribution centre.

She was taken to an air conditioned hall where Jordanian medics handed out drinks and food to the children.

He added that violence was in the air, "The temperature rose – you could stick your hand out in the air and feel it rising."

The UN has denied these allegations, stating that it can account for all the aid it hands out and that the GHF's system is unworkable and unethical.
