Amateur videos purportedly show the Rohingya exhausted after weeks at sea on a flimsy wooden boat, with many crying for help.


They were found on a beach near a coastal village in Pidie district.


Refugees say they left their refugee camp in Bangladesh at the end of November and began their journey.


Bodies of the dead were reportedly thrown into the sea.


The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees believes there'll likely be more to come.
