Jakarta; A UN agency reported on Tuesday that more than 200 rescued Rohingya refugees were receiving emergency medical care in Indonesia after being rescued by fishermen after repeated requests to the neighbouring countries for help went unanswered for weeks.

At least 174 Rohingya arrived in the coastal village of Muara Tiga in the Pidie district of northern Aceh province on Monday, according to the International Organization for Migration.

The 36 men, 31 women, and 107 children arrived a day or so after 57 Rohingya refugees touched down in the Aceh Besar district of the province.

In a written response to Arab News, the International Organization for Migration stated that "the group is in very poor health condition, with many suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition."

The medical staff of IOM is currently performing fundamental health evaluations.

According to Eros Shidqy Putra, a representative of Indonesia's National Refugee Task Force, the local government will initially be responsible for caring for the refugees.

Then, he continued, "we will transfer them to a province that is already hosting refugees." "The province of Aceh does not take in refugees."

In an effort to travel across the Andaman Sea to another host country, at least five boats carrying hundreds of refugees left the coast of Cox's Bazar, the largest Rohingya settlement in Bangladesh, in late November.

While a vessel carrying 104 people was rescued by the Sri Lankan Navy on December 18, a boat carrying 154 refugees was rescued by a Vietnamese offshore company and handed over to the Myanmar Navy.

A boat carrying 180 people is said to have sunk, according to previous statements made by the UN Refugee Agency.

International organisations and activists have been pleading with the countries in the area to save the refugees who are stranded at sea for weeks, but despite repeated requests for assistance, no official assistance was sent.

Hatamonesa, a 27-year-old woman who was on the boat that arrived in Indonesia on Monday with her 5-year-old daughter, spoke to his sister on Tuesday after more than a month of no communication. Mohammed Rezuwan Khan is Hatamonesa's brother.

Khan said, "We feel like we have a new world today. "Their faces were once more visible. It truly is a happy moment for all of us. Khan received a call from his niece, who had been treated for dehydration after consuming salt water during the journey. They went 13 days without eating. Hatamonesa claimed that 20 passengers on the boat had perished and been thrown overboard.

She believed that she would pass away during the sea voyage, according to Khan.

Following a brutal crackdown by the Myanmar military in 2017 that the UN claimed amounted to genocide, more than 730,000 Rohingya fled to the nearby country of Bangladesh.

In Cox's Bazar, refugees have been living in filthy, overcrowded camps for the past five years while dealing with escalating unpredictability. Some people have been compelled by the circumstance to embark on perilous sea voyages in search of a better life.
