A photo spreading online claims to show a meagre portion of food supplied by The Red Cross to Hurricane Harvey victims along with the claim that The Red Cross charges the government $8 for the portion.
The image can be seen below.
Despite the claims, this doesn’t show a meal provided to those displaced by Hurricane Harvey, nor does it show a meal provided by The Red Cross. This image was taken back in 2014 during a controversy involving school meals in Oklahoma.
As such, we don’t recommend circulating this image under the context of being related to Hurricane Harvey or The Red Cross.
