Migrants still in limbo across South-east Asia one year after crisis

When Mr Mohammed Salim washed ashore on the coast of Aceh province in Indonesia during the South-east Asian refugee crisis last year, he was hungry, thirsty, emaciated and exhausted.

All he wanted was rice, water and to get to a safe nation. “America, Australia, anywhere,” he told me then.

When I caught up with him just over a year later, he appeared healthier and cleaner, but nowhere closer to getting somewhere. (Courtesy of todayonline.com)
