Neither clothes nor food was available.

We have used a singular verb in the sentence.

Neither represents a single subject, thus, the verb used must be single.
We have used 'was' according to subject-verb agreement.
If neither refers to one of the two plural things, then we will use 'were.'
If neither refers to one of the two singular things, we will use 'was.'
