DHAKA – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today welcomes a new contribution of US$87 million from the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance of the United States Agency for International Development. This timely funding will significantly bolster WFP’s efforts in providing lifesaving food and nutrition assistance to the Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar and on Bhasan Char Island, where nearly 1 million people are facing daily hardships, without an immediate prospect of a safe return to Myanmar. Thanks to the unwavering support of the United States and the rest of the donor community, WFP will increase its food assistance from US$8 to US$10 and add fortified rice to the food basket in Cox's Bazar in January 2024.
