Key figures
1,543 Rohingya refugees have disembarked from boats in Aceh, Indonesia since 14 November 2023. As of 12 December, the total Rohingya population in Aceh, including 179 who disembarked from boats earlier in the year, is approximately 1,722.
Approximately 700 refugees currently remain stranded outside of designated accommodation. Over 1,000 have been relocated to overcrowded shelters in Aceh.
Due to the current situation within Myanmar, the protracted nature of Rohingya refugees’ displacement in Bangladesh, and the arrival of the dry season with improved sea conditions, it is projected that more groups of Rohingya refugees will arrive in Aceh by the end of March 2024, all of whom will require immediate, sustained, life-saving assistance.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and IOM are urgently appealing for USD 5.4 million to address the immediate, emergency needs of Rohingya refugees disembarked in Aceh Province, Indonesia.
