Refugee Action Collective will be holding an emergency rally tonight in King George Square at 5:30 pm to highlight the crisis of children on Nauru.
Last week, a 12-year-old refugee attempted to set herself alight, while another 17-year-old is refusing food. Local doctors are pleading for children on Nauru to be brought to Australia.
Child safety officers are warning of a growing presence of self-harm, attempted suicides and refusal of food, as well as an increase in serious child psychiatric disorders.
