RICE, lentils, dried chick peas, tinned sardines and kidney beans.

READ NOWThe foods form part of a kit designed to reflect what is available to a Syrian refugee in Jordan.
The aim for people like Ms Sands is to take the challenge and get sponsorship to do so.
Money raised goes towards supplying refugees with food, healthcare and education.
“It is a daunting challenge, especially when you look at how little is in the kits,” Ms Sands said.
“But it is for an important cause.
“The topic of refugees has turned very political and I think people are forgetting what it’s actually about.
“At the heart of it is families desperate to survive.
“If we can get people talking about refugees in a humane way and raise some money to support them, it will be worth it.”
The Ration Challenge will run during Refugee Week, starting June 19.
