🙏They are saved

🙏They are saved! An old wooden boat carrying Rohingya refugees has landed on shores of the Indonesian province of Aceh. The Rohingya are one of the most oppressed ethnic minorities in the world. The refugees had spent several weeks at sea without food and water and are suffering from severe dehydration. Some jumped overboard out of desperation and drowned before reaching terra firma.Show more

When the ship landed near an Indonesian village, many of its occupants couldn’t even walk to the shelter due to exhaustion. Indonesia’s migration service is now looking into where they came from. The most likely place is a huge refugee camp in Bangladesh where tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims live. Most of them arrived there in 2017 after fleeing from Myanmar, where Rohingya were raped and burned alive in an act of genocide.

Why won’t the refugees return to their homeland? Find out in
