More than 370 migrants stuck at sea for four months have been rescued and taken to Indonesia, officials said Wednesday. On Tuesday, fishermen saved 102 asylum seekers stranded in the sea of the Malacca Strait, including 30 children and 26 women, while another 272 migrants arrived on eight boats Wednesday morning. The latest group of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants are among thousands who have arrived in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand after smugglers left them in the wake of a crackdown on human-trafficking routes. Ministers from the three countries have met in Kuala Lumpur to hold talks on the growing humanitarian crisis.
