Rohingya refugees: Hundreds have arrived in Indonesia in recent weeks

Hundreds of Rohingya have arrived in Indonesia's north, hoping to reach Malaysia. Many fled genocide in Myanmar and harsh conditions in Bangladeshi camps. Increased arrivals have led to overcrowded shelters and poor living conditions. Many aim to reunite with their families in Malaysia. Local authorities and UNHCR seek permanent solutions. The Indonesian government is considering options despite not ratifying the refugee convention. Boat arrivals typically peak during the monsoon season, increasing the journey's risk.
