Rohingya refugees continue to risk their lives at sea

A boat carrying Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh to Indonesia sinks.

The incident has once again drawn attention to the plight of the refugees who are increasingly embarking on dangerous sea journeys to seek a better life. When will the ordeal of Rohingyas end?
