Bangladesh sent ‘about a ton worth of food’ over to the country for the expatriates. Besides these, Bangladesh is also working on repatriating expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. It was also making plans for the retrieval of another group of expatriates who were stranded in the United Kingdom and the United States. Regarding the 4,000 expatriates stranded at different camps in Kuwait, he said their repatriation entirely depended upon the government of that country, who gave amnesty to all those stuck there. Bangladesh has been provided a list of 190 citizens in those camps and received authorisation to fly back 144 of them.
