The vessel, overcrowded with Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals, departed from Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar district, southern Bangladesh, according to statements from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). As of the morning of April 15, details about the exact timing of the sinking remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether search and rescue efforts are underway for those unaccounted for.
