On Thursday, authorities made a dramatic rescue of 69 Rohingya who had been adrift at sea for weeks before their boat capsized, many of whom were found clinging to the hull of the capsized ship. Six others were rescued by fishermen on Wednesday.
According to UNHCR, from mid-November to late January, 1,752 Rohingya refugees, mostly women and children, arrived in Indonesia's Aceh and North Sumatra provinces.
The UN agency said it was the largest influx into the Muslim-majority country since 2015, driven by worsening conditions in illegal camps in Bangladesh and the persistent threat of violence in Myanmar, the Rohingya's native Myanmar.
