# About 250 people, including children, are feared missing after a boat carrying Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals capsized in the Andaman Sea, northeastern Indian Ocean. The vessel had departed from Teknaf, Bangladesh, and was heading to Malaysia when it reportedly sank due to strong winds, rough seas, and overcrowding. The Bangladesh Coast Guard managed to rescue nine people from the sea. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says this tragic incident reflects the dire consequences of protracted displacement and the absence of durable solutions for the Rohingya.
