Boat carrying Rohingya refugees capsizes off coast of Indonesia, at least 50 feared dead | Oneindia

Tragedy struck as a wooden boat carrying an estimated 150 Rohingya refugees capsized off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province, sparking fears of multiple fatalities.

The vessel encountered distress approximately 19km (12 miles) from the shores of Kuala Bubon on Aceh's west coast, succumbing to turbulent seas on Wednesday morning.

Amidst the chaos, six individuals - four women and two men - were plucked from the water by Acehnese fishermen and ushered to safety in a nearby shelter.

Tragically, it is believed that the majority of the presumed casualties were women and children, unable to navigate the waters and swept away by relentless currents.
