Asylum Seekers Starve on Nauru | Melbourne News
Description
Over 100 asylum seekers on Nauru are going hungry despite Australia spending $9 million per person last year—thanks to a paltry $260 fortnight that barely covers basics. With imported food prices sky-high, rice shortages, and substandard housing at the Budapest hotel, these detainees from China, Bangladesh, and Pakistan face daily deprivation. Denied work, they’re trapped in limbo, many reporting despair and no access to clean water. The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre calls the system “completely broken,” exposing a cruel gap between government spending and human suffering.
