He spent the day interacting with various relief organisations who have been helping the Rohingya refugees who are located in this area. “Today I visited Rohingya refugee communities in Cox’s Bazar with U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh. This is the largest refugee camp in the world hosting over one million refugees. The United States has supported this camp and urges our partners around the world to increase their contributions,” Mr. Gor wrote on X.
