More than 110 Rohingya refugees, mostly women and children, were rescued off Indonesia's Aceh province on November 30 after their boat faced difficulties and nearly sank. The refugees are part of the world’s largest stateless population, fleeing Myanmar due to poor conditions and abuse.
On November 30, over 110 Rohingya refugees, mostly women and children, were rescued after their boat nearly sank off Indonesia's Aceh province. The refugees, originally from Myanmar, are part of the world's largest stateless population and usually flee poor conditions in refugee camps on rickety boats to Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. In 2023, more than 2,000 Rohingya arrived in Indonesia, surpassing the total from the previous four years.
Indonesia, which is not a signatory of the UN Refugee Convention, has limited capacity to accommodate refugees and has faced increasing hostility towards them
