U.N. to raise food ration for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh - statement

The United Nations will raise the food ration for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh by $2 to $10 per person per month from Jan. 1, the agency said in a statement on Tuesday.

Last year, the U.N. cut food aid to the refugees in Bangladesh by a third, to $8 per person a month because it only raised less than half of the $876 million needed to support them.
