Dozens of Rohingya refugees are feared dead or missing after a boat carrying around 150 people capsized off the coast of western Indonesia. The UNHCR expressed deep concern over the situation and hopes for the rescue of any survivors. Indonesian rescue efforts were called off despite reports that many individuals were still missing. This incident marks a significant tragedy, potentially the largest loss of life involving Rohingya this year. In recent months, a substantial number of refugees have arrived in Indonesia, with the UNHCR noting it as the most substantial influx since 2015.
