Rohingya refugees relocated from Indonesia's Aceh to Medan

Description

Medan, Jun 10 (EFE/EPA).- Dozens of Rohingya refugees were relocated on Thursday to the city of Medan in western Indonesia, from Idaman Island in East Aceh Regency where they were found stranded on 4 June for further immigration process. According to M. Ilyas, leader of the group of Rohingya refugees, they previously departed from Bangladesh on 11 February heading to Malaysia and were later stranded in the Andaman Sea, India, for four nights due to boat engine failure. They were rescued by Indian coast guards and given food and supplies before being sent back to the open seas. The refugees have been adrift for months before their boat ran aground on Idaman islands in Aceh, Indonesia.
