INDONESIA. Sadeqa and her son are among
152 Rohingya refugees rescued in South
Aceh, in October 2024, after enduring
weeks at sea, making a perilous journey
from Bangladesh. She sought refuge in the
Cox’s Bazar refugee camp after her husband
was killed in a bombing in Myanmar but fled
again after a few weeks due to harsh
conditions and over-crowding in the camp.
She boarded a boat with her son and others,
not knowing where it would take them.
Tragically, three people on board the boat
lost their lives. “We are searching for a place
where we can live in peace,” says Sadeqa.
