A group of about 20 refugees are on their way from Nauru to the United States where they will be resettled.

   

The Refugee Action Coalition says 21 men and one woman flew from Nauru airport to Los Angeles on Sunday (11/02) afternoon.

   

They're among some 130 refugees who will leave the island this month under Australia's resettlement deal with the United States.

   

The group, which is the second to depart Nauru, reportedly includes Afghanis, Pakistanis and stateless Rohingya refugees.
