Approximately 250 Rohingya refugees aboard an overcrowded wooden boat faced rejection in western Indonesia and were compelled to return to sea, as locals in Aceh province prevented their landing. The group, some of whom swam ashore and collapsed from exhaustion, encountered resistance from residents, citing concerns over human trafficking and lack of resources. The vessel, originating from Bangladesh, has reignited discussions on the challenges posed by Rohingya migration, highlighting the complex issues of human trafficking and the need for international cooperation.
