The UAE has supported the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in delivering an aid shipment to Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh.
It comes after recent floods destroyed a refugee camp and displaced more than a million Rohingyas.
Reem bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, highlighted the importance of the support, especially at a time when the world fights to curb the spread of coronavirus.
She also noted that the UAE's efforts are a reflection of the humanitarian values exemplified by the wise leadership.
The partnership between the UAE and the UNHCR in Bangladesh is a continuation of previous partnerships and is part of the UAE's ongoing efforts to support refugees and host communities.
