Yes because its for 2 weeks not several months. I may be wrong but they probably feel people can manage for 2 weeks without the items classed as non essential whereas several months it will be far more difficult.

I doubt many young children will change clothes or shoe sizes in 2 weeks. We are not talking about moving from just past winter to the middle of summer so new clothes footwear are needed.

Im not saying this non essential restriction policy will have much effect. But i dont get why people are up in arms over it.
