Many Rohingya are feared dead at sea more than three weeks after their boat became stranded off the Indian coast, where at least 160 people remain aboard on the brink of starvation, family members and the United Nations’ refugee agency said
. Mohammed Rezuwan Khan, whose sister and 5-year-old niece are on the vessel, told CNN Wednesday that two children and a woman had died, adding that those still alive have “no water, food or medicine.” “We are extremely concerned and want them to be rescued. It’s growing increasingly difficult for them to survive,” said Khan, adding that he last spoke to the boat’s captain on Sunday.
Desperate to leave, many pay illegal traffickers to smuggle them out of the camps. Khan said his sister was in search of a better life for her daughter, and decided to attempt the dangerous sea journey out of Bangladesh on November 25. “The Rohingya people are growing desperate, they are willing to risk their lives,” Khan said. The perilous voyage from Cox’s Bazaar to Malaysia can take weeks, and conditions at sea are challenging.
