An appalling and alarming report of refugee detention centre in Nauru by five independent clinical experts posted online by The Guardian on Friday, which paints a bleak picture of life on the island, particularly for children. The report describes the now-familiar wretched conditions of refugee detention. Tents that leak in the rain and become unbearably hot and humid by 10am. Burning white rocks underfoot, little natural shade, dust everywhere, only electric fans for cooling in most areas of the camp. Mosquitoes that prevent sleep and may carry diseases. Overwhelming boredom. And the hopelessness, helplessness, frustration and despair that accompany radical uncertainty about the future... Is that how we treat human beings?
