A United Nations agency is seeking information about the voyage of some 185 Rohingya Muslim refugees who landed on an Indonesian beach this week, warning that there will likely be more.

A distressing video circulated widely on social media showed the dehydrated and exhausted Rohingya, crumpled weakly and emaciated, many crying for help.
