More than 500 people are feared dead after two boats carrying Rohingya refugees capsized in the Bay of Bengal, officials said Thursday.

官員週四表示,兩艘載有羅興亞難民的船隻在孟加拉灣翻覆,恐怕有超過500人罹難。

The International Organization for Migration and the UN refugee agency said the boats left Myanmars Rakhine state in late June.

國際移民組織和聯合國難民署表示這些船隻於6月底離開緬甸的若開邦

One boat with around 250 people lost contact shortly after departure.

A second boat carrying about 280 people is believed to have sunk off Myanmars Ayeyarwady coast on July 8.

另一艘載有約280人的船隻,據信已於7月8日在緬甸的伊洛瓦底海岸外沉沒。
