"Indonesia Rescues Dozens of Rohingya Refugees from Capsized Boat"

Indonesian rescuers saved 69 Rohingya migrants, including nine children, after finding them sunburnt and dehydrated on a capsized ship off the coast of Aceh. Around 80 others are feared dead after being swept away. The survivors had been adrift for over a day, escaping persecution in Myanmar and overcrowded refugee camps in Bangladesh, and were attempting the perilous sea journey to Malaysia or Indonesia.
