Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh sit in the rain after they and their wrecked boat washed up on a beach in Rathedaung township, western Myanmar's Rakhine state, June 12, RFA Authorities in Myanmar have verified that nearly all of the more than refugees who washed ashore in Rakhine state earlier this week after bad weather wrecked their boat are Rohingya from Myanmar, except for 12 who are Bangladeshi citizens and will be returned to their country, two government officials said Wednesday.

Myanmar has determined that 92 of the men, women, and children from a Myanmar-Bangladesh border camp who landed on a beach in Rathedaung province on the night of June 10 are from Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships in northern Rakhine state, the officials said.

In the meantime, the ministry, the Myanmar Red Cross Society, and the International Committee of the Red Cross are providing supplies for the refugees, he said.

Authorities are arranging for the 92 for whom there are documents proving that they are from Rakhine state to stay temporarily in a repatriation center in Maungdaw's Nga Khu Ya village, he said.

Win Myat Aye is overseeing a repatriation program in which authorities are verifying the eligibility of Rohingya refugees who wish to voluntarily return to Rakhine based on previous residency in the region. In recent years, tens of thousands of Rohingya from Myanmar have attempted to travel by sea to Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country considered a safe haven, to escape systematic discrimination and the denial of access to basic services at home.

The Rohingya refugees aboard the boat on Sunday fled Rakhine state during the crackdown, but unintentionally landed back there when their vessel was destroyed at sea.

Mohammad Abul Kalam, Bangladesh's commissioner for refugee relief and repatriation, told RFA-affiliated online news service BenarNews on Wednesday that he was unaware of the capture of the Rohingya who said they were heading to Malaysia by boat.

The new curfew will be in effect from 10 p. Buthidaung administrator Kyaw Min Htun said such extensions are a normal procedure in the region. Parts of Rakhine state had originally imposed dawn-to-dusk curfews following communal violence between Muslims and Buddhists six years ago that left more than people dead and displaced tens of thousands of Rohingya who ended up in internal displacement camps.
