Part 6/11:
Indonesia manages nine temporary hosting sites across Sumatra and Aceh, of which only two are officially designated refugee camps. The majority are informal, often remote, complicating aid delivery. The government asserts it works closely with international agencies to improve conditions, but local authorities retain sovereignty over site designations, which sometimes leads to suboptimal arrangements. While most Indonesians have shown sympathy toward the Rohingya, recent arrivals and the swelling refugee population have sparked resentment and hostility, fueled by misinformation campaigns and economic grievances.
