General food rations status for refugees

The general food rations for refugees in the East and Horn of Africa and Great Lakes region remain far below the ideal standards, according to the Food Security & Nutrition Working Group report for June 2025.

Uganda has the highest ration at 78%, followed by Rwanda at 63% and Kenya at 60%.

Refugees in South Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Burundi are surviving on only 50% of the recommended food ration.

Sudan records the lowest level at just 30%.

The ideal food ration is set at 100% or 2,100 kcal per day, in line with UNHCR and WFP standards.
