US offers assistance to bring back Bangladeshis
US Government will repatriate some of the thousands of Bangladeshis currently stranded in Tunisia as a result of the conflict in Libya.
US Ambassador to Bangladesh James F Moriarty confirmed it on Monday, said a press release.
On behalf of the American people, I am glad to announce our assistance and support to so many Bangladeshi citizens in need, Moriarty said.
Working through the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), the US has pledged $5 million to support the humanitarian relief effort, he added.
These funds will enable IOM to provide flights to immediately transport thousands of Bangladeshi nationals out of North Africa.
The US Government will continue to work with the IOM and other agencies to explore additional means of humanitarian assistance to Bangladeshi nationals, the release added.
