“COULD NOT FIND THEM”
On Wednesday, six Rohingya from the same vehicle were rescued by fishermen.
One of those victims claimed that hundreds of migrants were missing or feared dead because of currents.
” He said the ship took 151 people. Once the boat capsized approximately around 50 people ( were ) maybe missing and passed away”, Rahman said.
” We are also coordinating with the relevant government organizations to try our best to save as many lives as feasible.”
The provincial government and the local police did not respond to requests for comment.
From middle- November to later January, 1, 752 migrants, mainly women and children, landed in the Indian regions of Aceh and North Sumatra, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Plenty remain in homes.
According to the organization, this was the largest flow into the Muslim-majority nation since 2015.
As the Indonesian province’s ultra-conservative mood swings, some Rohingya ships that have arrived in Aceh in recent months have been pushed back out of the water.
Some Acehnese, who themselves have reminiscences of decades of bloody issue, are friendly to the suffering of their own Muslims.
Others claim their persistence has been tested, claiming that Rohingyas frequently clash with locals and drink limited resources.
