今天的句子：
It’s an inequality that feels particularly desperate right now. Britain as a whole is becoming more and more divided, as the wealthiest individuals see their fortunes surge by hundreds of billions, while food banks are handing out a record number of parcels. Soaring child poverty is the unforgiving result of this: schoolchildren left to sleep on cardboard boxes before going to class the next morning; malnourished, tiny bodies, stuffing their pockets with food at school, or taking scraps from the school bins, because their parents can’t afford a hot meal at home.
思考题：
The foodbank can offer unsurpassed number of packages to the wealth.
