World Food Programme

WFP provides life-saving assistance to 870,000 refugees in Cox’s Bazar. While half the refugees receive in-kind food distributions of rice, pulses, and fortified oil, the other half receive a WFP assistance card, pre-loaded with a monthly entitlement, which they can use to buy a variety of food, including fresh vegetables, eggs, and dried fish, in WFP-contracted shops in the camps. All refugees have been transitioned to the card system.
