This week, a shipment of 17,000 metric tons of food aid for Rohingya refugees arrived in Chattogram, Bangladesh. The food, sourced from American farmers, is intended to be distributed through the World Food Programme. This initiative is part of the United States’ ongoing assistance to more than one million Rohingya refugees who are in urgent need.
"The U.S. contribution has remained at consistent levels. In order to ensure sufficient aid is reaching the impacted community, we encourage other donors and international partners to step up and provide additional resources to distribute the burden-sharing."
The statement stresses the necessity for continued and increased support from other international entities.
