The United Nations has warned of the dangerous situation in a boat carrying a group of Rohingya refugees stranded in the Andaman Sea without food or drink.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said - according to the American "ABC News" network today, Wednesday - that it is aware that some refugees on board the boat died after leaving the shores of southern Bangladesh about two weeks ago, indicating the inability to determine the current location of the boat. exactly.
The United Nations and human rights groups have noted that among the refugees are patients and others suffering from severe drought.
According to reports, about 90 refugees, including some children, have embarked on the journey in search of a better life, as human trafficking gangs often entice refugees and promise them to work in Southeast Asian countries.
It is noteworthy that more than a million Rohingya refugees live in overcrowded camps in Bangladesh, among them more than 700,000 refugees who fled Myanmar after the country's army launched a harsh counter-insurgency operation in 2017, which included mass rapes, killing and burning villages.
