17,000 Metric Tons of US Food Aid Arrives for Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh

This week, 17,000 metric tons of vital food aid for Rohingya refugees arrived in Chattogram, Bangladesh. This food, produced by American farmers, will be delivered through the World Food Programme as part of the United States’ assistance to more than one million Rohingya in critical 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.
