It is being told that fishermen have saved 6 people. An operation has been started to rescue Rohingya Muslim refugees from a boat that capsized off the coast of Indonesia.

Indonesian authorities and a rescue ship located the boat on Thursday and launched a rescue operation to rescue survivors. An AP photographer aboard the rescue ship said 10 people were rescued and taken to fishing boats, while another 59 were being rescued by an Indonesian ship. Seeing the rescue operation begin, the men, women and children trapped there started crying. People were safely transported to the rescue ship with the help of small rubber boats.
People lose their lives while crossing borders.
According to the UN refugee agency report, about 4,500 Rohingya fled refugee camps in Myanmar and Bangladesh last year, two-thirds of whom were women and children. Of them, 569 were killed or went missing while crossing the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. This is the highest number of deaths since 2014. Safe return to Myanmar is almost impossible as the military overthrew Myanmar’s democratically elected government in 2021.
