Indonesian authorities on Thursday rescued at least 69 Rohingya refugees who had been at sea for weeks after their boat capsized a day earlier. The refugee group's wooden boat and another vessel trying to help them both capsized on Wednesday, with survivors estimating that around 150 Rohingya had been on board with dozens swept away. Rescuers had rushed to save the group of Rohingya after they spotted them in the water, stranded and holding onto an overturned boat off the coast of western Aceh province. IMAGES
