Aid packages contained rice, chickpea, oil, dates, sugar, salt, potato, lentils, puffed rice and other essential food items.
UAE Embassy Dhaka, in association with Bangladesh Education and Technology Society, supervised the distribution of the aid to refugees. Bangladesh Red Crescent society and Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC) were also present during the aid distribution.
