Over 400 emaciated Rohingya refugees return after drifting for two months in Malaysia-bound sea journey: By The Rohingya Post
Around 80% of the refugees are Rohingya women and children while 28 reportedly died in the sea journey
A boat carrying over 400 Rohingya refugees were forced to return to Teknaf, Bangladesh after two months of the perilous sea journey to Malaysia.
On Wednesday, the boat was docked in Baharchara, Teknaf, Cox’s Bazar at around 8:00 pm local time.
It is reported that 482 Rohingya from refugee camps sailed for Malaysia in the lights of travel restrictions in the camps and the COVID-19 pandemic fears.
They were forced to return to Bangladesh after failing to dock in Malaysia where there are strict measures in place to combat the pandemic.
