Refugee Rations.
Posted: Mon May 20, 2019 11:39 pm
There is a fundraising/awareness event being held in Australia at the moment called 'the ration Challenge'
For this challenge, people are asked to get sponsors to support them living on a Syrian refugee ration for a week.
My research shows me that the ration they base this on is not really representative - it's very much a worst case scenario. (Certainly not of the standard of the US HDRs, for example).
(I get the feeling it is as much about making a political statement as anything else)

This seems to be closer to the norm;
I know of the HDR (humanitarian daily ration), and of subsistence rations like BP5 and NRG5.
What other refugee and humanitarian rations do you guys know about?
