No one is rescuing 190 Rohingya floating in Andaman

A boat with 190 Rohingya people is floating in the Andaman Sea. Despite the request of the United Nations, no country is rescuing.

The boat has been floating in the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal for about a month, the UN said. Food and water almost gone. Already 20 Rohingya people have died in the boat. "This horrific incident needs to end," said Indrika Ratawate, UNHCR's Asia and Pacific director. They are all human beings.''Indrika said, ``Countries in the region should save the lives of these endangered people.''

This Rohingya boat was first spotted in the sea near Thailand. The boat was then spotted near Indonesia. Now it is near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India.

UNHCR has repeatedly appealed to countries in the region to rescue the endangered Rohingya. Last week, they requested India to bring the Rohingyas to the Indian Marine Rescue Centre. Still nothing happened.

Indrica said at least two hundred people died in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea in 2022. It is very difficult for them to verify every incident. However, every country has a responsibility to allow these people to land in their country for the sake of humanity.

He said, "It is very sad to say that this waterway has been identified as one of the most dangerous waterways of the running year. A day earlier, UN human rights expert Tom Andrews said in a statement, "While the whole world is busy celebrating the New Year, a group of desperate Rohingya women, men and children are plying the sea in unseaworthy boats in search of safe haven." This cannot be accepted. ''

Two weeks ago, a Vietnamese oil company ship rescued 154 Rohingya from a sinking boat. They handed the group over to the Myanmar authorities. The Sri Lankan army rescued 104 Rohingya last weekend. According to Tom Andrews, "The whole world should come to their aid."
