A group of Rohingya refugees board a truck to be transferred to a temporary shelter following their arrival by boat in Krueng Raya, Indonesia’s Aceh province on December 25, 2022/AFPPix: The possible sinking of a boat with 180 Rohingya Muslims on board will make 2022 one of the worst years for the community as refugees try to flee desperate conditions in camps in Bangladesh, the U.N. refugee agency told Reuters on Monday.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said over the weekend that it feared that a boat that started its journey from Bangladesh at the end of November was missing at sea, with all 180 on board presumed dead. The UNHCR estimates nearly 900 Rohingya died or went missing in the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal in 2013 and more than 700 in 2014.
The number of Rohingya leaving Bangladesh in boats this year has jumped more than five fold this year from a year earlier, rights groups estimate.
