JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Officials say at least some of about 500 members of Myanmar's long-persecuted Rohingya (ROH'-hin-GAH') Muslim community need medical attention after the boats they were in washed ashore in western Indonesia today. The men, women and children arrived on two separate boats. The group have for decades suffered from state-sanctioned discrimination in Myanmar, sparking one of the biggest exoduses of boat people since the Vietnam War -- about 100,000 people.
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen's Shiite rebels and their allies in the country's splintered armed forces said Sunday they would accept a five-day humanitarian cease-fire to allow aid to reach civilians after more than a month of daily Saudi-led airstrikes. The cease-fire, scheduled to begin Tuesday, would help ease the suffering of civilians in the Arab world's poorest country who increasingly lack food, fuel and medicine since the bombing campaign began March 26. All sides have warned they'll retaliate if the cease-fire is broken.
