Boat carrying dozens of Rohingya lands on Indonesia's western coast

A wooden boat carrying at least 69 Rohingya, many of them women and children, lies moored on a beach after landing on Indonesia's western coast. It was the sixth Rohingya boat to land in Indonesia since November last year. "For now we are moving them to a shelter in Ladong, Aceh Besar so they can rest and we can provide their basic needs, especially nutrition for the children," the official says.
