There's literally an entire section on relief efforts on Wikipedia, with plentiful sources (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943). It also clearly explains the aid wasn't enough and inadequately delivered, meaning it wasn't effective (especially initially). But it's not true that they did nothing at all.
