EU dispatched additional funds for Rohingyas in Bangladesh
The European Commission has released an additional€5 million euro to provide life-saving food assistance to the Rohingya communities stranded in Bangladesh.
A release of the European Union delegation in Dhaka on Tuesday said this comes on top of the 40 million euro in humanitarian aid announced in May in response to the crisis.
"Today's additional funding is another clear sign that the EU remains committed to stand by the side of the Rohingyas for as long as it takes. Food assistance is an absolute necessity, and we will continue to support both Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh throughout this crisis,” said Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar District of Bangladesh rely entirely on humanitarian aid for their survival. The additional EU funding will provide urgently needed food assistance to refugees, while ensuring access to food throughout the camps, makeshift settlements and host communities.
