Indonesia: More than 370 migrants stranded at sea for months were rescued and taken to Indonesia, officials said today, the latest in a stream of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants to reach shore in a growing crisis confronting Southeast Asia.
"They were suffering dehydration, they are weak and starving," Khairul Nove, head of Langsa Search and Rescue Agency in Indonesia's eastern Aceh province, said of one of the boats of migrants. The boat was crammed with 102 people, including 26 women and 31 children. It arrived late yesterday, he said.
