A visiting senior official from the United Nations Sunday assured Bangladesh of its best efforts to increase food aid, as the prices of food grains continued to go up in the country hitting the poor people hard.
"We'll do our best to increase assistance to Bangladesh at this point," United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Administrator Kemal Dervis told reporters.
Dervis said the UN would try to coordinate the countries and agencies that provide food aid to increase their support to Bangladesh.
He said the food prices were growing quite a lot worldwide benefiting the producers and the farmers, but the purchasers were suffering from it.
Dervis arrived here Saturday for a three-day visit to the South Asian country.
