Is it permissible for volunteers and aid convoy organizers to eat from the surplus food designated for refugees in Tunisia, which is on the verge of being wasted due to a lack of consumers, especially with the nearest food store being far away?
If the food exceeds the needs of those to whom it is donated, there is no harm for the volunteers assisting them to eat from it. This is better than leaving it to spoil and go to waste, as that entails squandering wealth.
