In the first three months of this year, the United Nations estimate that 25,000 Rohingya people have fled persecution in Myanmar and Bangladesh by boat. Members of the minority Muslim group find themselves crammed on to rickety vessels by human traffickers. They face appalling conditions at sea - sometimes left floating for weeks without food before being rescued. Fisherman Muhammad Ibrahim saw the situation at first hand. On the night of 15 May he and his crew had just set sail from Aceh in the north of the country when they came across a sinking boat crammed with around 800 refugees.
