April 16 (UPI) -- Officials said a ship with almost 400 Rohingya refugees that left for Malaysia two months ago has turned up in the Baharchara Union region near Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, and witnesses report dozens died on board.
Residents of the Ukhiva-Teknaf refugee camp had hoped to reach Malaysia but were turned away because of new restrictions set in place in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The Bangladesh Coast Guard was notified of the ship.
