Nearly 600 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Indonesia’s Aceh province in the past week. All arrived by boat from Bangladesh. Bangladesh is hosting up to a million Rohingya refugees in camps, after they fled persecution under the military junta in Myanmar. The refugees have made dangerous sea journeys over the past few years to escape dangerous overcrowding in camps and in search of opportunities in countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
