Indonesian authorities rescue at least 69 Rohingya refugees who had been at sea for weeks.

Those rescued include 42 men, 18 women and nine children after boat capsized off the coast of Indonesia’s Aceh province.

Bangladesh hosts more than a million Rohingya people, many of whom fled a 2017 military crackdown in Myanmar.

Police blame riot after 115 Rohingya and 16 other people from Myanmar escaped the facility on Thursday night.

On the beach and in a car park, Rohingya refugees are taking shelter wherever they can amid a hostile reception in Aceh.

Around 7,000 Rohingya refugees have been made homeless again after a fire in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar camp.

Analysts say it is less about privacy concerns and more about narrative control.

Move comes as resentment grows among some people in region about sudden influx of boat arrivals.
