Seventeen thousand metric tons of vital food aid for Rohingya refugees arrived in Chattogram.

This food, produced by American farmers, will be delivered through the World Food Program as part of the United States’ assistance to more than one million Rohingya in critical need, said a US embassy press release on Wednesday.

“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.” It said.
