"What will happen to them; when will this end; how long will they have to stay in these conditions? These questions are particularly concerning in the context where services, as well as solutions outside of PNG, remain insufficient." https://t.co/eaqSl2Xo4e #Manus #auspol 2/2 https://t.co/Bz10cDbVBx

"What stood out most from this mission was a pervasive + worsening sense of despair among refugees + asylum-seekers. There’s a sense of desolation - people grasping for hope.

UNHCR "cannot emphasize enough that solutions must be found for all...as a matter of urgency. Australia remains ultimately responsible...for their welfare + long-term settlement outside of Papua New Guinea." 3/3 #Manus #auspol https://t.co/AlWiqqzZQc
