United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced USD 75 million in humanitarian assistance to help the Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar District and help them meeting the ongoing needs that have been exacerbated by the increasing costs of food and fuel, The Daily Star reported on January 26. With this, the US funding for the Rohingyas reached USD 1,975 million since August 2017. With the new funding, USAID will work with the World Food Programme (WFP) to provide critically needed food and nutrition assistance, infrastructure maintenance, disaster risk reduction, and logistics support. The new funding will provide critical and life-saving assistance to nearly 600,000 people. USAID in a statement said, “These programs will target populations residing in 33 refugee camps and 130 sites in the local Bangladeshi community. In addition, through disaster risk reduction programming, WFP will work with the community to maintain and improve public infrastructure within the camps.”
