Report (2): VOA News Reporter: Mohammed Idris Abdullah (Cox’s Bazar) Related item code: 9-P Duration: 07:23 minutes Topic: 2 Forcibly Displaced Myanmar National (FDMN) Rohingya Concern for not Getting Sufficient, Fresh and Eatable Food. Translation summary: A Forcibly Displaced Myanmar National (FDMN) Rohingya, namely Ali Ahammed (23), Resident of Kutupalong camp#03 said to VOA that World Food Program (WFP) has been providing 21-food items worth 931.85 Takas to every single Rohingya (per head) for a month. And the amount the foods items are fixed: such as Rice 1KG = 49.00-taka, Lentil-Red 1KG =66.00 takas, Oil-Soybean 1L= 126 Takas, Sugar-Refined 1KG=66.00 Takas, Garlic 1KG= 106.00 Takas, Chili-Dry 1KG=196.00 Takas, Turmeric 1KG=110.00 Takas, Egg 1 Pieces 7.5 Takas and so on.

On the other hand, the junior staff of WFP who are at food distribution points behave rudely with Rohingya as well.
