The Nauruan government has moved to scrap a mental health service for refugees on the island.  

Medecins Sans Frontieres says it was told that its free psychological services were no longer required, and were given 24 hours to cease operation in Nauru.

The charity fears the mental health of refugees will worsen as a result, but the Australian government says the dismissal was a matter for Nauruan authorities. A statement from MSF urge the government to allow the group to continue its work.
