Where it stands

More than 500 Rohingya are feared dead after two boats disappeared off Myanmar: one lost contact after leaving Rakhine State in late June, and another is believed to have sunk off Ayeyarwady on July 8. No search teams had been deployed by the report’s airing, and the fate of passengers including 15-year-old Jani Alam remained unknown.

    1. Update 1

      Over 500 Rohingya Vanish at Sea, and No One Is Looking

      Two boats left Rakhine State on the same June day and were never heard from again. UN agencies call the toll historic; no search has been launched.

      Still open after this report

      • Whether either boat sent a distress signal, where either sank, or whether any passenger reached a third country's shore.
      • Why no search-and-rescue operation has been mounted and which authorities, if any, have been asked.
      • Whether the monsoon forecast in late June was sufficient on its own to have capsized the vessels, or whether other factors — overcrowding, mechanical failure, interception — contributed.
