    Two-thirds of all refugees come from 5 countries. 🇸🇾 Syria 🇦🇫 Afghanistan 🇸🇸 South Sudan 🇲🇲 Myanmar 🇸🇴 Somalia Imagine what peace in just 1 of those countries could mean.

    Read this! It will sadden and nauseate you, but it may also strengthen your commitment to never accept the way we treat asylum seekers or, indeed, people found to be refugees who are being punished simply for the way in which they sought refuge.

    While the world watches the US/Mex border, Australia continues to detain children and split families. Here's a first-hand account of Australia's offshore detention of refugees, by my friend

    Here’s an update on the Ali’s situation and my reflections on the medical situation on Nauru. I’m starting to think his case is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Even more now. We’re keeping the letter open if you’d like to add your voice.

    Nearly 2000 doctors have now signed Dr Sara Townend's petition to bring a dying refugee to Australia for palliative care, up from 1200 yesterday.

    The doctors names number thousands And we are not picking a fight, we are advising that compassion and excellence in medical care be freely available. The situation on Nauru is so abject that the only chance this man has is to come to Australia.

    When it's 800 Australian doctors vs , Australia is in trouble. For those who still haven't twigged.

    We teach our medical students to aim for excellent and compassionate medical care. Ali will die excluded from it. I’m proud they are standing with the AMA.

    The AMA and the Australian Medical Students’ Association have asked the Australian Government to show mercy and give this dying refugee the care he needs for a comfortable death

    This is a message from Ali the refugee who is dying on Nauru. I hope we are worthy of his prayers.

    Every time I read those lines, it brings to mind a dystopian novel. I’m horrified that it is real. Aren’t you?

    "Weariness became king in the camps, watched over by an indifferent crowd of faintly menacing guards, attended by various helpers from myriad agencies, all with the same basic goal: to stop people from killing themselves, and to stop bad news leaving the island."

    Sydney GP Dr felt moved to take action when she discovered that a refugee on Nauru is facing a lonely death if he continues to be denied access to proper palliative care in Australia

    "We have exactly what Ali needs in Australia. Being able to bring his family here would make a perfect ending, although it is not possible," Dr told newsGP

    Yes I support this humanitarian request.

    The Australian Government should bring 63-year-old advanced lung cancer sufferer and Afghan refugee, Ali, from Nauru to Australia where he can receive palliative care.

    If we heard & saw the tears & the pain right on our doorstep, perhaps we would get some bipartisan govt action on this appalling tragedy. But this LNP govt puts genuine refugees into island prisons with no apparent long-term solution: out of sight & out of mind.

    Delighted that decent Americans have pressured their dangerous and deranged President into reversing his appalling policy of separating kids at border. Now, Australia can we get our own house in order and stop the indefinite detention of refugees on Manus & Nauru?

    Not forgotten. Working hard for change. I’m embarrassed and sorry that I’ve only just started.

    Not forgotten by all of us I'm glad to say.

    Dr Nick Martin's article on his experiences as a doctor on Nauru is extraordinary. Detailed, thoughtful, and horrifying.

    'To watch someone break over a period of months…to see eyes go from shining to dull, to watch shoulders slowly droop and hang… for a man to become a hopeless case … that’s what I saw as a doctor on Nauru.’ Read ’s Nauru diary
