US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said the United States was one of the first international donors to the Rakhine State crisis, providing nearly $204 million in life-saving assistance to those displaced in Myanmar, Rohingya and other refugees in Bangladesh, and host communities since August 2017.
“We’ll continue to help the world’s most vulnerable refugees, reflecting the deeply held values of the American people,” Secretary Pompeo said in a press statement commemorating the World Refugee Day.
He said they extend the support through active humanitarian diplomacy, humanitarian assistance, and tireless efforts to end conflicts and achieve durable solutions for persecuted people around the world.
