The Government's response to the famine primarily focused on the institution of soup kitchens. By November, 1974, the government claimed it had 6,000 soup kitchens in operation across the country. A government official claimed that this helped save "five million lives". The government soup kitchens provided basic rations consisting of either a single [[roti]], or four ounces of a porridge made of rice and [[dal|daal]]. Other facilities provided "survival biscuits" donated by the United States. |
