The boat carried 101 Rohingya, including females and children. According to locals' information, those were all Rohingya, mostly hailing from Rathedaung Township. They decided to take this perilous journey, due to unbearable military persecution, since late 2017.

Since the beginning of unrest, Rathedaung is among the initial township that has been affected by the state-sponsored attack of the Burmese regime.
Rathedaung Township was destructed completely leaving only Muzai and Anaprang villages, since military operation from 25th August 2017. According to our archives, collateral damage in Rathedaung township is highest among the all townships in Arakan (Rakhine).
In latest wave of state-sponsored operation by the Burmese government, Rohingya lost their historical village of Zay Di Pyin, that captured the existence of “Rohingya” long before the existence of Burma itself.
