UNHCR is appealing for the immediate rescue of a group of #Rohingya refugees in distress on the Andaman Sea. They've reportedly been at sea for 10 days + many are in a critical condition. Urgent action is needed to save lives + prevent further tragedy. https://t.co/PI8pTPaTJ7

For the past 70 years, refugees and those forced to flee across Asia and the world, have inspired UNHCR with their resilience and determination to build a better life. We are proud to stand #WithRefugees https://t.co/68YEwn2aCW
