Introduction

A boat with about 250 people sank in the Andaman Sea. The people were from Bangladesh and the Rohingya group. They wanted to go to Malaysia.

Main Body

The boat left Bangladesh on April 4. It had too many people. The wind was strong and the sea was rough. The boat turned over and sank. On April 9, a big ship found nine people in the water. These people are safe now. Many Rohingya people live in Bangladesh. They left Myanmar in 2017 because of violence. They cannot go back to Myanmar. Life in the camps in Bangladesh is very hard. They do not have enough food, jobs, or schools. Some people tell them they can find good jobs in Malaysia. This is why they take dangerous trips on boats. The UN says the world must help these people with money and food.

Conclusion

This sad event shows that Rohingya people have a very hard life. They cannot go home to Myanmar and they have a difficult life in Bangladesh.
