But how do the two sides shape up as a whole, creatively?

The WFP says that as a result of the cuts, the agency has had to slash the refugees' rations to 30% of the minimum recommended amount a person should eat to stay healthy."If we have a protracted situation where this is what we can manage, then basically we have a slowly starving population," says Felix Okech, the WFP's head of refugee operations in Kenya.

Outside Kakuma's food distribution centre, the sun beats down on the dry, dusty ground and security officers manage queues of refugees.They are led into a holding centre and then a verification area. Aid workers scan the refugees' identity cards and take their fingerprints, before taking them to collect their rations.Mukuniwa Bililo Mami, a mother of two, has brought a jerrycan to collect cooking oil, along with sacks for lentils and rice.

"I am grateful to receive this little [food] but it is not enough," says the 51-year-old, who arrived in the camp 13 years ago from South Kivu, a region in conflict-hit eastern Democratic Republic of CongoMs Mami says the refugees used to "eat well" - three meals a day. But now that rations are at 30% of their usual amount, the food she has been given is not enough to last one month, let alone the two that she has been asked to stretch it for.

She has also been affected by another casualty of the cuts - cash transfers.

Until this year, the UN was giving around $4m (£3m) in cash directly to refugees in Kenya's camps each month, intended to allow families to buy basic supplies.Services from Troon, about 15 miles further south on the Ayrshire coast, will be provided by the new ferry MV Glen Sannox and the chartered catamaran Alfred.

In the 20 months since the war in Gaza began, Amit Hevrony has been spat at, screamed at, and pelted with rocks and eggs in Israel's streets, all because she was calling for peace."We would sit in silence, just a bunch of women dressed in white, holding signs in Hebrew, Arabic and English saying: 'compassion', 'peace', 'nutritional security'," she told me.

"We thought: who argues with peace? But these demonstrations would get the same hatred as when we called to Stop the Occupation or Free Gaza. One guy screamed at us during a peace sit-in in Tel Aviv that he wished we would all be raped in Gaza, while we sat in silence holding signs saying 'love'".I first met Amit in the early months of the war. The grandchild of Holocaust survivors, she described to me then how family discussions about what was happening in Gaza left her feeling angry and frustrated. She is convinced that Israel's actions amounted to "Nazification".
