Rohingya refugees risk death at sea

Hundreds of refugees have died or gone missing this year alone after their vessels capsized in the Andaman Sea.

Survivors recount harrowing stories of being adrift for days without food or water before being rescued or reaching the shores of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Human rights groups have called for a coordinated regional response to the crisis, urging governments to provide safe harbor and humanitarian assistance.

The UN migration agency warns that without a significant increase in funding and political will, the death toll will continue to rise.
