I got this information from preceptaustin.org, by Bob Fromm, who said he came across this info:
This is the logistics needed, by the Israelites in the wilderness, by estimate:
People - around 2 million
Food - 1500 tons a food each day. That would be two freight trains each a mile long to bring it all in.
Firewood for cooking - 4,000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for one day.
Water - If they only had enough to drink and wash a few pots, it would take 11 million gallons each day, and a freight train with tank cars 1,800 miles long, just to bring water.
Crossing the Red Sea - If they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35 days and nights to get through. So, there had to be a space in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5,000 abreast to get over in one night.
You have to remember they were in the wilderness, which was low on food and water,
when they needed all these supplies. They could not have survived without the mana
and water from a rock. And crossing the Red Sea, from the image portrayed in the
movie, the Egyptians raced down into the path with water standing up high on each
side. I could never understand why anyone, in their right mind would attempt that.
Now, if the gap between the walls of water were 3 miles wide, the Egyptians probably
didn't even notice it.
