At least 69 Rohingya refugees, including women and children, landed on Indonesia's west coast on Thursday in a wooden boat, an official with the United Nations refugee agency said.
The arrival is the latest in a wave of landings as hundreds flee desperate conditions in refugee camps of Bangladesh.
The vessel came ashore at a beach in Aceh, according to UNHCR official Oktina Hafanti, with one passenger saying some on board died during the voyage.
Miftah Cut Ade, a senior member of the area's traditional fishing community, said the group had arrived from Bangladesh, many in a state of exhaustion. Local residents had offered them food, he said.
It was the sixth Rohingya boat to land in Indonesia since November.
Hundreds of Rohingya Muslims have reached Aceh in the past few months, even as an untold number have perished at sea from disease, hunger and fatigue.
Around a million Rohingyas are estimated to be living in the refugee camps of Cox's Bazar and Bhashan Char after they fled persecution in Myanmar in 2017.
Thousands risk their lives each year on long and expensive sea journeys -- often in poor-quality boats -- attempting to reach Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand, especially between November and April when the seas are calm.
"We currently count 69 of them, including men, women and children," Hafanti said.
The refugees were being transported to a temporary shelter nearby, the official added.
According to a passenger named Shorifuddin, the boat departed Bangladesh two weeks ago.
Several people died due to a lack of food and the captain abandoned the passengers in the middle of the journey, he said.
"We have been suffering in the ocean for 15 days and all this time, we didn't have enough food," the 15-year-old told AFP.
He said he fled Bangladesh with seven family members including his parents hoping for a better life in Indonesia.
"We were strongly persecuted in Bangladesh by the local people. We also didn't have the opportunity to study and achieve higher education," he said.
Five other vessels carrying Rohingya refugees landed in Indonesia in November and December last year, carrying a total of nearly 700 passengers.
More than 2,000 are believed to have attempted the risky journey in 2022, according to the UNHCR, a number similar to that in 2020.
The agency estimated nearly 200 Rohingyas died or went missing last year attempting hazardous sea crossings.
The UNHCR has said that 2022 may have been one of the deadliest years at sea in almost a decade for the Rohingyas.
