13. RAMADAN Ramadan Package: sharing with Sector previous packages
Main considerations:
Cooking capacity is very limited (ready-to-eat food to be considered) and may become a serious challenge on the rainy season
To consider products with long expiration (can be also relevant in case of emergency during the monsoon)
The camp conditions (lack of proper storage, density, distribution cycle, etc.) do not allow raw food (e.g. fresh meat or fish)
Health issues may increase in the rainy season
Targeting: defined target such the most vulnerable (elderly, child headed HHs, etc.) : do not harm approach;
