LANGA, Indonesia — Indonesian fishermen have rescued more than 100 migrants who were stranded at sea for more than four months.
The 102 are the latest in a stream of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants stuck on boats off Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
“They were suffering dehydration, they are weak and starving,” said Khairul Nove, head of Langsa Search and Rescue Agency in Aceh.
He said there were 26 women and 31 children among those rescued.
