More than 240 Rohingya refugees afloat off Indonesia, refused by residents

Approximately 240 Rohingya Muslims, including women and children, are adrift off the coast of Indonesia as local residents rejected two attempts to land.

Authorities reported that the boat recently sought to land in the Aceh Utara district of Indonesia’s Aceh province on Thursday afternoon but departed after a few hours.

This incident marks the fourth boat to reach Indonesia’s northernmost province since Tuesday.

While three others were permitted to land in a different district, residents of Ulee Madon beach in Muara Batu sub-district expressed unwillingness to accept the latest group, the Associated Press reported.
