This report examines the food distribution response to the 170,000 Rwandan refugees arriving in Tanzania over the 24-hour period of 28 April 1994. With over 150 tonnes of commodities to distribute daily, and relatively low rates of mortality, the organisational success offers insight for future responses of similar scale.
