Refugee activists stated that thousands of Rohingya Muslims are still stuck at sea on their overloaded boats, unable to dock on the port because of a people-smuggling's crackdown going on in Thailand and Malaysia.
On Sunday, two boats bringing almost 500 people washed away on shore in western Indonesia's Aceh province. It involves some women and children who suffered from starvation and lack of water. All they need now is medical assistance.

According to Sydney Morning Herald there are still five boats left in Myanmar last week to avoid the conflict arising in their country. Muslims left in Myanmar suffered a lot from being beaten, being poured with hot water and their only wish is to leave Myanmar as soon as possible.
There are 33 dead bodies found in many jungle camps in the mountains of southern Thailand who were identified as migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Last week, Thai police has been patrolling in places located at the Khao Kaew Mountain in Padang Besar where they discovered 96 people who were starving to death. According to the migrants, they were dropped by on the Thai shores and left behind by smugglers who swore to bring them back to Malaysia.
Thailand was ashamed when it was discovered, knowing the pressure they have to endure from USA and European Union to end human trafficking on land.
About 1.2 million Rohingya has been treated as illegal Bangladesh immigrants by Buddhist-majority in Myanmar or also called Burma, even these immigrants have lived in the country for so many generations.
In April, regional lawmakers called a meeting on the 10 members from Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) to forget its policy of not interfering in each other's concern regarding matters like this. It should not be use as a reason not to take any responsibilities in the case of Rohingya.
