## Resource

The US Navy has fiercely denied claims that its warships in the Middle East are running low on food and leaving its sailors "hungry all the time", as Washington’s blockade in the Strait of Hormuz continues. Photos showing dismal, mostly empty trays of food have circulated online, with the claims that shortages are rife after a month and a half of war.
