The blue boat has been adrift since Friday, and three Rohingya died during their nearly two-week journey from Cox&#8217;s Bazar in Bangladesh to Labuhan Haji in South Aceh district. Authorities have moved 11 Rohingya to a government hospital due to deteriorating health conditions.

Initially, there were 216 people aboard when they left Bangladesh; however, 50 disembarked in Riau province. Police have arrested three individuals suspected of human trafficking related to this case. Approximately one million predominantly Muslim Rohingya live as refugees in Bangladesh after fleeing Myanmar due to severe persecution by security forces accused of mass atrocities during a counterinsurgency campaign in 2017.
