BANDA ACEH, Indonesia—A wooden boat carrying 121 hungry, weak
Rohingya has been found adrift off Indonesia's northernmost
province of Aceh.  A doctor at a hospital in Lhokseumawe says
the boat had engine trouble and was discovered by fishermen
about 25 kilometers (16 miles) off the coast.  The doctor, Herry
Luthfi, said Wednesday that the group includes six women and two
children under 5 years old. He says they are weak from hunger
and dehydration.  The group's destination was unclear.  Many
Rohingya flee Buddhist-majority Myanmar, which considers them
illegal Muslim settlers from neighboring Bangladesh. The United
Nations considers the about 800,000 Rohingya among the most
persecuted people in the world.
