Refugee Action Coalition says refugees abandoned by Australia in Papua New Guinea are experiencing another round of distress.

Ian Rintoul says refugees in Port Moresby have not been paid their food allowance on top of being threatened with eviction and no access to health services.

Mr Rintoul told RNZ Pacific's Lydia Lewis there is a real risk vulnerable refugees will be booted on the street with no support.
