Almost 50 migrants found on beach in Phuket
A group of 49 Rohingya have been found near a beach on the popular Thai tourist island of Phuket.
The migrants are said to have traveled by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia.
Many Rohingya have fled Myanmar, where the predominantly Muslim minority group faces oppression and persecution. Many flee to overcrowded refugee camps in Bangladesh – or risk their lives on dangerous journeys across the sea to Malaysia or Indonesia.
The group was discovered by locals near a temple in Phuket. Many were in poor condition, according to local media reports. Several more are said to have died on the journey.
According to Thai authorities, the group will now be sent to “a third country”, although it is unclear where. Arrested Rohingya are reportedly often taken to detention facilities described by human rights groups as overcrowded and dirty.

Trump went on to say that his government could “possibly” help with the reconstruction of Gaza. He compared the war-torn area to a “massive demolition site”.
