Around 120 Muslim refugees were trying to reach Malaysia when their vessel reportedly foundered off the coast of Aceh, Sumatra
Indonesian authorities have said they will push a boat containing 120 Rohingya Muslims back to international waters despite fears that it could sink off the country’s northernmost province of Aceh.
The boat was reportedly leaking, had a damaged engine, and was at risk of capsizing in harsh weather, the United Nations refugee agency said.
