UN appeals to Indonesia to rescue stranded boat carrying 140 Rohingya refugees

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is calling on the Indonesian government to rescue a boat of Rohingya asylum seekers stranded offshore.
The asylum seekers left the world’s biggest refugee camp in Bangladesh earlier this month and were attempting to reach Malaysia.
Residents in Aceh are refusing to allow the boat and those onboard to land.
A warning that some viewers may find this story distressing.
