Australia should restore food, water and health services to 600 men inside the Manus Island immigration processing centre and end the “unfolding humanitarian emergency”, the UN human rights office says.
Key points:
- UN High Commissioner for Human Rights says the men should be transferred to Australia
- The men refuse to leave closed detention centre because they believe the alternative accommodation is dangerous
- New Zealand’s Prime Minister offers to resettle 150 asylum seekers
Hundreds of men remain in the centre on the Papua New Guinea island that officially closed on Tuesday, saying they do not feel safe in the replacement accommodation at Lorengau.
