THREAD: About 900 refugees have been trapped for the last 5 years by the #Australia policy of offshore detention on #Nauru island. Their sole crime being seeking refuge by boat. As a result of these policy, many people attempt suicide or self-harm. 
Our psychiatrists and psychologists have been shocked by the number of people thinking of or attempting suicide, with children as 9 years old saying it is better to die than live with no hope in #Nauru. Many children didn’t eat, drink and could not even walk to the toilet.
We are outraged by the perverse impact of the #Australia policy of offshore detention on the mental health of our patients in #Nauru. We are extremely worried we had to leave our patients behind. It’s not @MSF, it’s the refugees that should leave #Nauru.
