Bangladesh, Barmapara refugee camp, Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, 14 March 2018 The recent violence in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State has led to mass population displacement both within the country and across the border into Bangladesh. As of January 2018, 882,000 people have received food from WFP. Fortnightly rations, calculated for a family of five, consist of 25 kg of rice, 4 kg of lentils and oil. 90,000 people are also enrolled in WFP’s e-voucher programme, under which they receive a monthly entitlement on a pre-paid debit card. They can use this in allocated shops to buy 19 different types of food, including rice, lentils, fresh vegetables, eggs and dried fish.
