Another group of asylum seeker families to Nauru bring total on island to 687 Another group of asylum seeker family groups have arrived in Nauru within the past week on board a chartered flight of Nauru’s national carrier, Our Airline, from Christmas Island. A family group of twenty people arrived today (18 September) and were mostly from Iran and Iraq. There were five children among the arrivals, the youngest was a seven year old. Like previous arrivals they completed brief immigration formalities before boarding mini-buses to take them to the third Regional Processing Centre site at Topside, where the other families are residing. The groups received an induction to the facility by service providers and are providing support to settle them into their new environment. The transfer from aircraft to Topside was without incident. The recent transfers bring the total number of asylum seekers on island to 687.
