Rohingya Refugees Risk Dangerous Journeys to Indonesia Amid Growing Hostility

Rohingya refugees from Myanmar face brutal persecution and seek safety in Indonesia, risking treacherous sea voyages. Obaidur Rahman shares his harrowing experience of a 2.5-week journey from Bangladesh, where he lived in the world’s largest refugee camp. Although he initially hoped for a better life in Indonesia, anti-refugee sentiments have surged, and conditions remain precarious, leaving many without legal status and basic rights. UNHCR works with local authorities to address the ongoing challenges as more refugees attempt to escape their dire situations.
