Six women were found dead off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province, authorities said Monday, confirming they were aboard a refugee boat that capsized while en route from Bangladesh.
The United Nations refugee agency confirmed with survivors that the women had been on their boat, staff member Faisal Rahman said.
The agency has said the boat carrying Rohingya Muslims left a refugee camp in Bangladesh but capsized on Wednesday. Fishermen and search and rescue workers rescued 75 people on Thursday after they huddled overnight on the boat's overturned hull.
