Myanmar's stranded Rohingya migrants "drinking urine"
Myanmar's migrants; Corporate perks in China and ancient ruins in Syria under threat.
These migrants from Myanmar have been stranded on this boat for a week in the Andaman Sea with no food or water. Those on board told the BBC the crew abandoned them and disabled the engine. They say ten people have now died and their bodies thrown overboard. Their stories echo the plight of several thousand migrants who are still believed to be stuck in boats off the coasts of Thailand and Malaysia.
