Rohingya migrants stand and sit on a boat drifting in Thai watersDesperate Burmese migrants stranded on drifting boats are drinking urine and dying of thirst and starvation as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia force them back out to sea.
Rohingya Muslims on a boat carrying 350 people reported that ten passengers had died and their bodies subsequently thrown overboard.
It is estimated that 7,000 more people, from Bangladesh as well as Burma, are also drifting at sea after they were abandoned by people smugglers in alarm following a crackdown on human trafficking in Thailand.
