Statement: ADRA Halts Operations in Bangladesh

The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) in Bangladesh has suspended its operations in the country following an official notice from the Government of Bangladesh stating allegations that ADRA has been directly and indirectly involved in supporting a recent mass gathering at a Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar. As a result, ADRA has been in touch with government officials to seek clarification on the situation.
