MANUS, LORENGAU, PAPUA NEW GUINEA - 2018/02/08: Children bypassing the barracks where the asylum seekers are living on Manus Island.

For asylum seekers trapped on the remote island of Manus in Papua New Guinea, the future remains as uncertain as ever. Australias offshore detention center there was destroyed in 31 October 2017 but for the 600 or so migrants who remain on the remote Pacific island, little has changed. The asylum seekers live with the torment of separation from family and friends and in the shadow of depression and the traumas of their past.
