More than 70 Rohingyas came ashore in Indonesia's Aceh province, an official said yesterday, the latest wave of Rohingyas who often faced rejection from Indonesia's regional communities.

A wooden boat carrying 40 men, 32 women, and four children landed in Pereulak region in East Aceh on Wednesday, Nova Suryandaru, the head of regional police, told Reuters.

The boat had arrived at the beach in the afternoon but the Rohingya's attempts to land were rejected by residents. They were finally allowed to land at around 8:00 pm.

"The boat was deliberately damaged by them (Rohingyas)... So, we negotiated with the residents, explaining that it's impossible for the boat to sail again," said Nova, adding they were evacuated to temporary shelters.
