António Guterres(@antonioguterres):I am horrified by reports that 500 people, mainly Rohingya refugees, may have drowned off the coast of Myanmar. This is heartbreaking & unacceptable. Refugees fleeing conflict or persecution and migrants seeking a better life deserve safety & dignity. They should never have to resort to perilous sea journeys.
