ABOUT 140 weak and hungry Rohingya Muslims, mostly women and children, were found on a wooden boat anchored off the coast of Indonesia’s northernmost province of Aceh today.
Officials said that locals refused to allow them onto land.
The blue-painted boat has been floating off the coast since Friday.
