2022-12-26 |
[BenarNews] Dozens of "dehydrated and exhausted" Rohingya refugees — all males — landed on the coast of Aceh Besar regency in Indonesia on Christmas Sunday after being at sea for about a month, local officials said. The FB Tarikul Islam 2, the boat carrying the 57 men, sprang a leak and its engine broke down, Aceh provincial police front man Winardy said. The wooden boat came ashore at Indra Patra beach in Ladong, a village in Aceh Besar. "They were forced to land and rest in Ladong because the boat’s hull was leaking and they ran out of food," Winardy told BenarNews. |
