A shipment of 17,000 metric tons of food aid, produced by American farmers, has arrived in Chattogram to support over one million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. 

The 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 Rohingyas in critical need, said a US embassy press release today.

“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 added.
