The possible sinking of a boat in recent weeks with 180 Rohingya Muslims on board could make 2022 one of the deadliest years at sea in almost a decade for the community, a UN agency said, as refugees try to flee desperate conditions in Bangladesh camps.
Nearly 1 million Rohingya from Myanmar are living in crowded facilities in Muslim-majority Bangladesh, including tens of thousands who fled their home country after its military conducted a deadly crackdown in 2017.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said over the weekend that it feared that a boat that set sail at the end of November was missing, with all 180 on board presumed dead. He said 2022 was one of the worst years for dead and missing after 2013 when 900 Rohingya died or went missing in the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, and 2014, with 700 dead or missing.
"In 2017, my family came to Bangladesh to save their lives," Rahman said. "But they are now all gone...I'm totally devastated...We Rohingya are left to die...on the land, at sea. Everywhere."
