Indonesia

A group of nearly 200 people has been rescued from a wooden boat adrift off the coast of Aceh after 21 days at sea, Indonesian officials say. They are thought to be Burmese Rohingya - a Muslim minority group not recognized by Burma's military rulers. It is the second group of Rohingya to arrive in Indonesia in a month. The small boat, which was so packed with people that many were forced to stand, was spotted by fishermen on Feb. 2. Those on board had run out of food and water, and more than 50 are being treated in hospital in Indonesia for severe dehydration. (BBC)
