Alam said that as the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread in an unpredictable manner it presents a growing risk to all stakeholders involved in food assistance, particularly during food distributions. So, World Food Program (WFP) has distributed food in baskets (without any choice but mixture of average food items) only to reduce time on distribution site by making packages/kits prior to commencing the distribution but Rohingya were did not like it said, Alam. So, following the complaints of beneficiary and market price of food items World Food Program(WFP) has decided to distribute food items of (931.10) takas per head in this month, December 2020. So, 13-KG rice of (617.50) takas or more, 1-KG lentils of (37) takas or more and other items are allowed to be delivered to beneficiary as per their choice with remaining takas, Alam said. Moreover, Alam said that the “HELP DESK” in the Food Distribution Point (Outlet) of World Food Program are setup and the “Hotline numbers” are given to share opinions and complain about anything by beneficiary, Rohingya. The Communication with Community (CWC) Rohingya volunteers of World Food Program(WFP) visit regularly door to door of beneficiary and explained them what to do if they have any complain regarding food distribution and how they will go for ration and receive maintaining the instruction of World Health Organization(WHO) which makes the Rohingya very much satisfied said Alam.
