A devastating maritime tragedy unfolded off the Malaysian coast near the Thailand border, where a boat carrying hundreds of Rohingya migrants capsized. At least seven people have been confirmed dead, while hundreds remain missing. Authorities have rescued 13 survivors so far as large-scale search and rescue operations continue across a 170-square-mile area near Langkawi Island. These migrants, fleeing persecution and poverty in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, were seeking safety and a better life — but their desperate journey ended in disaster. The incident sheds light on the ongoing refugee crisis in Southeast Asia and the dangerous human trafficking routes used by migrants across the region.
