Nearly 300 people are feared dead after boats carrying undocumented migrants capsized near Thailand’s Tarutao Island earlier this week. Reportedly, the tragedy unfolded when smugglers reportedly forced around 300 migrants, mostly Rohingya fleeing persecution in Myanmar, to transfer from a larger vessel into three smaller boats to evade detection near the Malaysian coast. Only 10 survivors have been rescued so far, alongside the body of one Rohingya woman, while the remaining passengers remain missing. Authorities believe the incident occurred three days ago near the Malaysian-Thai border, triggering a large-scale search and rescue operation. Officials said the boats departed from Myanmar’s Buthidaung region, carrying desperate migrants seeking safety and better opportunities. Rescue teams from Malaysia and Thailand continue their search, though the mission has largely turned into an effort to recover bodies.
