What is a WFP food ration?
Typical food rations in situations where no other food is available consist of more than half a kilogramme of food per person per day (or 2,100 kilocalories). This amounts to 15 kilogrammes in food rations for one month, or 182.5 kilogrammes for a year. If you’re trying to feed 100,000 hungry people, a relatively small caseload in an emergency situation, you need about 57 truckloads of food to feed them for just one month.
